Ingredients
- 20 ounces Canned young green jackfruit
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Trim off any hard parts and seed pods, then shred the jackfruit with your fingers or a fork.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded jackfruit, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Step 6
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 7
Heat a few tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Place a portion of the jackfruit filling on the edge of each tortilla, then roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
Step 9
Lightly fry each flauta in the skillet seam side down until golden and crispy, turning as needed (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Step 10
Remove flautas from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all flautas are fried.
Step 11
Serve the vegan flautas de pollo with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or vegan sour cream.
