Ingredients

• 2 cans (14 oz each) young green jackfruit in brine
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red onion
• 2 medium bell peppers
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 lime
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce and liquid smoke. Add the jackfruit and toss to ensure even coating. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the jackfruit marinates, peel and slice the red onion into thin strips. Julienne the bell peppers and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the garlic and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are just tender.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the marinated jackfruit, breaking it up with a spatula to resemble shredded pork.

Step 7

Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is browned and heated through.

Step 8

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the skillet, and stir everything to mix the flavors.

Step 9

Warm the flour tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds.

Step 10

To serve, place a portion of the jackfruit and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro before rolling up the fajita.

Step 11

Serve immediately with additional lime wedges if desired.
