Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) Canned young green jackfruit
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 sliced Small onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 medium-sized Soft corn tortillas
- 2 cups, shredded Red cabbage
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 1 sliced Avocado
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the jackfruit to the skillet, using a spoon or fork to break it into smaller pieces resembling pulled pork.
Step 5
Stir in smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to coat the jackfruit.
Step 6
Add BBQ sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything well and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to help the flavors meld together and the jackfruit soften.
Step 7
While the jackfruit mixture is simmering, warm the tortillas in another skillet over medium heat, or wrap them in foil and heat them in a warm oven.
Step 8
To assemble each taco, place a generous amount of the jackfruit mixture onto each tortilla.
Step 9
Top with shredded red cabbage, fresh avocado slices, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Step 10
Serve the vegetarian pulled pork tacos immediately while warm and enjoy!
