Mix together jerk seasoning, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.

Cut chicken breasts and beef sirloin into bite-sized pieces.

Toss the chicken and beef into the marinade, ensuring they are nicely coated.

Refrigerate the marinated meat for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to soak in.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Remove the marinated chicken and beef from the fridge.

Thread the chicken and beef onto the skewers, alternating between the two and leaving space between each piece.

Optionally, add chunks of bell peppers, onions, and pineapple to the skewers for extra flavor and color.

Cook the kebabs by grilling, baking, or pan-frying until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.

Dice a ripe mango into small pieces for the salsa.

Finely chop red onion, red chili (if desired), and fresh coriander.

Combine the diced mango, red onion, red chili, and coriander in a bowl.

Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

Optionally, chill the salsa in the fridge to allow flavors to develop before serving.

Plate the kebabs and serve with fluffy rice and black beans for an authentic Caribbean experience.
