Vegan Jackfruit Tacos

Vegan Jackfruit Tacos are a type of taco that uses young, green jackfruit as a meat substitute. Here's a detailed overview of how to make Vegan Jackfruit Tacos:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans of young, green jackfruit in brine or water
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup of tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of lime juice
  • 8 small tortillas
  • Toppings
    shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, vegan sour cream, lime wedges
  • Instructions:

    1. Drain and rinse the jackfruit well. Using your hands, shred the jackfruit into small pieces, removing any seeds or tough parts. Set aside.

    2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and jalapeno (if using) and cook for 1 minute.

    3. Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

    4. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.

    5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, tomato paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and lime juice. Pour the sauce over the jackfruit mixture in the skillet.

    6. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the jackfruit is tender.

    7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side.

    8. To serve, spoon the jackfruit mixture onto the tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and vegan sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

    Vegan Jackfruit Tacos are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional meat-based tacos. The jackfruit has a texture similar to shredded meat and takes on the flavors of the seasonings and sauce. Toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro add freshness and crunch. The lime wedges add a tangy and refreshing touch.
