Best sides and dessert for Jamaican Jerk Chicken (for 75 people)

Next Sunday, I'm planning on cooking Jamaican Jerk Chicken for a crowd (around 75 people).

I'm trying to think of what to serve with it. I will be working in a pretty industrial kitchen, and have part-time help from a couple of people. Trying to balance ease without losing the theme of the meal. I am used to (and have cooked) for this many people before, so I am somewhat prepared for this undertaking.

So far, I was thinking cilantro-lime rice and perhaps a mango pico de gallo. For the dessert, I'm not quite sure yet, but I'm hoping for something light/fruit-based.

Any advice is appreciated. I would like to be a bit more elaborate, but 75 is a lot of people, and, well, I'm lazy.
