Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jackfruit

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained jackfruit, breaking it apart with a fork or spatula. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the jackfruit is tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. 2

    Make the Jicama Slaw

    In a medium bowl, combine the julienned jicama, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a separate bowl, mix together the diced tomato and mango. Add a pinch of salt and lime juice to taste. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer the sautéed jackfruit, jicama slaw, avocado slices, and tomato mango salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
