Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) Canned young green jackfruit
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 0 to taste Salt
- 0 to taste Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned young green jackfruit. Pat dry with paper towels, then cut the tougher core pieces into smaller sections.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
Step 3
Add the jackfruit to the skillet, along with smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Stir well to coat, then cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 4
Using a fork or potato masher, gently pull apart the jackfruit pieces to create a shredded texture. Stir in the BBQ sauce and cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Warm the flour tortillas either in a microwave or on a dry skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and spread 1/2 cup of cooked rice in the center. Top with a quarter of the pulled jackfruit, 1/4 cup black beans, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Step 7
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
Step 8
Repeat the assembly for the remaining tortillas and ingredients, then serve warm, optionally with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
