Prepare the Jackfruit
Drain and rinse the canned green jackfruit thoroughly. Remove any seeds and shred the jackfruit pieces using your hands or a fork to create a pulled texture.

Add the minced garlic, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Cook Until Tender
