Jackfruit Tacos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jackfruit

    Drain and rinse the young green jackfruit. Cut it into smaller pieces if necessary.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Jackfruit and Spices

    Add the jackfruit to the skillet along with the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Finish with Lime Juice

    Stir in the lime juice and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with the jackfruit mixture, and top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and sour cream.
