Ingredients

• 2 15-ounce cans canned young green jackfruit
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed black beans
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 ripe, mashed avocado
• 1 juiced lime
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the jackfruit from the can. Pat dry and remove the core. Shred the jackfruit using a fork or your fingers to resemble pulled pork.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder to the pan. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shredded jackfruit to the pan along with soy sauce, maple syrup, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and flavorful. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the avocado sauce by combining mashed avocado, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the burritos, place a quarter of the cooked rice and black beans on each tortilla. Add a generous portion of the vegan pulled pork atop the rice and beans.

Step 9

Drizzle the avocado sauce over the top, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 10

Serve immediately with extra avocado sauce and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy your vegan pulled pork burrito!
