Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans canned young green jackfruit
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed black beans
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 ripe, mashed avocado
- 1 juiced lime
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the jackfruit from the can. Pat dry and remove the core. Shred the jackfruit using a fork or your fingers to resemble pulled pork.
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder to the pan. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the pan along with soy sauce, maple syrup, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and flavorful. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the avocado sauce by combining mashed avocado, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a quarter of the cooked rice and black beans on each tortilla. Add a generous portion of the vegan pulled pork atop the rice and beans.
Drizzle the avocado sauce over the top, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Serve immediately with extra avocado sauce and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy your vegan pulled pork burrito!
