Lets Taco bout it
Jackfruit tacos are an easy, meat-free meal any night of the week. Vegan or not, you'll be amazed with this delicious flavor packed recipe.
TIP - If you use canned Jackfruit, be sure to soak in cold water for 15 minutes and drain before using. Generally the young green Jackfruit comes in a brine and can be quite salty.
Ingredients
