Ingredients

• 2 cans (14 ounces each) Canned young green jackfruit
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced White onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 small Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 4 for serving Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit thoroughly. Use your hands to shred the jackfruit pieces into smaller, pulled pork-like pieces, removing any tough core sections if present.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, orange juice, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 5

Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and pour the marinade over it. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 7

While the jackfruit is cooking, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable and slightly charred.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the jackfruit mixture on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over before eating.

Step 10

Enjoy your Vegan Adobada Tacos with loved ones!
