Ingredients

• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Canned jackfruit (in brine or water, not syrup)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 small Red onion
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 cup Shredded purple cabbage
• 1 cup Diced avocado
• 0.5 cup Salsa of choice
• 1 varied Optional toppings: vegan sour cream, jalapeño slices

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit. Use your hands or a fork to shred the jackfruit into a 'pulled' texture, discarding any hard seeds.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the jackfruit begins to brown slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice. Pour the mixture over the jackfruit, stirring well to coat. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the seasoned jackfruit on each tortilla. Top with shredded purple cabbage, diced avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Serve immediately with optional vegan sour cream or jalapeño slices as desired.
