Ingredients

• 2 cans (20 oz each) Canned young green jackfruit
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Onion
• 3 medium cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 8 small (6 inches) Corn tortillas
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1 large Avocado
• 0 to taste Salt

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned young green jackfruit. Chop into smaller pieces, removing any hard core sections, leaving the softer flesh and seeds.

Step 2

Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and continue to cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped jackfruit, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and ground black pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit begins to break down and resemble the texture of pulled pork.

Step 6

While the jackfruit is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

Step 7

Slice the lime into wedges and dice the avocado.

Step 8

Once the jackfruit mixture is cooked, adjust the seasoning with salt to taste if needed.

Step 9

To assemble the fajitas, place a generous spoonful of the jackfruit mixture onto a warm corn tortilla. Top with fresh lime juice, avocado pieces, and chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Pork Fajitas!
