Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Canned jackfruit (in brine or water, not syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Red onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup Diced avocado
- 0.5 cup Salsa of choice
- 1 varied Optional toppings: vegan sour cream, jalapeño slices
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit. Use your hands or a fork to shred the jackfruit into a 'pulled' texture, discarding any hard seeds.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the jackfruit begins to brown slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice. Pour the mixture over the jackfruit, stirring well to coat. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the seasoned jackfruit on each tortilla. Top with shredded purple cabbage, diced avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with optional vegan sour cream or jalapeño slices as desired.
