Ingredients

• 2 cups Canned jackfruit
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 15-ounce can Black beans
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 4 large Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly. Use your hands to shred the jackfruit into smaller pieces that resemble pulled meat.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the jackfruit, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add soy sauce and vegetable broth to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let the jackfruit simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes until it absorbs most of the liquid and becomes tender.

Step 5

While the jackfruit is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans. In a separate saucepan, warm the beans over low heat.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix the cooked rice with lime juice and fresh cilantro.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and layer on a quarter of the jackfruit mixture, a quarter of the black beans, a half-cup of the rice, some shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of sour cream, and a few avocado slices.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Roll the burrito tightly, starting from the bottom, making sure to keep the sides tucked in.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 10

Optional: To warm the burritos, place in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly crispy.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Vegetarian Brisket Burrito!
