Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans of jackfruit in brine not syrup
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce home-made: ¼ cup tomato paste + 1 tsp smoked paprika = 1 tsp steak seasoning
  • ½ tsp taco seasoning
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • To garnish:
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado
  • ¼ sliced jalapeno
  • cup vegan sour cream or aioli

Instructions
 

  • Using a fork, break apart the chunks of jackfruit into small pieces like pulled meat.  Can also use a potato masher in a colander to break up the larger chunks.  
  • Chop onion and garlic and sauté them in a heated skillet with olive oil. Once the onion is translucent, add jackfruit and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add vegetable broth, BBQ sauce, and seasonings. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the liquid is reduced.
  • Prepare the corn tortillas with the jackfruit filling, and top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, jalapeño slices, and a drizzle of vegan sour cream.
