Vegan Jackfruit Tacos

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.

Quick easy recipe, serves 4.

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 for Taco Mixture:

• 1 16 oz can Young Green Jackfruit, rinsed

• 1 tbsp Modern Masala's Let's Taco 'bout It

• 1 16 oz can Whole Black Beans, rinsed

• 1 4oz can Roast Green Chili's

• 1/4 cup Red Onion, diced

• 2 tsp Oil

Taco Toppings:

• 1/4 cup Red Onion, diced

• 1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced

• 1/4 cup Lettuce, chopped

• 1 tbsp Cilantro, chopped

• 1 Jalapeno, sliced, optional

• 1/2 cup Vegan Cheese (or any cheese you prefer)

• Hot Sauce or Salsa of your choice

Instructions:

1. Heat cast iron skillet or pan

2. Season Jackfruit with Let's Taco 'bout It

3. Add oil to skillet, and drop in seasoned Jackfruit

4. Sear and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Stir while breaking up the chucks. (You can also break it up before you start cooking, either works.)

5. While it cooks, Chop up toppings. I used Lettuce, Red Pepper, Onion, Cilantro, Jalapeno.

6. Stir in Black Beans, Onions, Roasted Green Chili. Remove from heat, adjust seasoning to taste.

7. Melt (vegan) Cheese onto tortilla and build your Tacos.

*The seasoned Jackfruit mixture is great in Taquitos, Flautas, Enchiladas, Tostadas, Quesadillas... or basically anything you feel like. 😋

Enjoy!!
