The story behind

I remember making these for a group of friends who are huge meat eaters, and honestly, they didn't even notice the difference until I told them! This recipe reminds me of beach trips and easy-going potlucks. It originated from a mix of Southeast Asian ingredients meeting Mexican tradition. It's the perfect lunch for a sunny afternoon. I highly recommend pairing these with a crisp lager or a spicy ginger beer to cut through the smokiness of the sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Rinse the jackfruit thoroughly and pat it dry. Remove any hard core bits.
  2. 2
    Sauté the shredded jackfruit in a pan with a splash of oil until slightly browned.
  3. 3
    Add your favorite sauce and simmer on low heat until the liquid reduces and coats the fruit perfectly.
  4. 4
    Warm up your tortillas on a griddle.
  5. 5
    Assemble the tacos by adding the jackfruit mixture and topping with fresh avocado, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
