We study the spin-1/2 XXZ model on the triangular lattice with a nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic Ising coupling J(z) > 0 and unfrustrated (J(perpendicular) 0) kinetic terms in a zero magnetic field. Incorporating long-range Jastrow correlations over a mean-field spin state, we obtain the variational phase diagram of this model on large lattices for arbitrary J(z) and either sign of J(perpendicular). For J(perpendicular) 4.7, in excellent agreement with quantum Monte Carlo data. For J(perpendicular) > 0, a distinct square root(3) x square root(3) supersolid is found to emerge for J(z)/J(perpendicular) > or = 1. Both supersolids exhibit a spontaneous density deviation from half-filling. At J(z)/J(perpendicular) = infinity, the crystalline order parameters of these two supersolids are nearly identical, consistent with exact results.
