Discover a delicious and healthy vegan alternative to traditional BBQ wraps with our recipe for BBQ Jackfruit and Pickled Red Onion Wraps. Perfect for lunch or dinner, these wraps combine smoky flavors with tangy pickled onions for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cans of young green jackfruit in brine or water
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Fresh lettuce leaves (optional)
Preparation
Start by preparing the pickled red onions. In a bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add the sliced red onions and stir to coat. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor.
Meanwhile, drain the jackfruit and rinse thoroughly. Use your hands or forks to shred the jackfruit into bite-sized pieces, removing any seeds or core pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the shredded jackfruit and BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat all pieces. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly caramelized.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Place a few lettuce leaves in the center, then spoon a generous amount of BBQ jackfruit on top. Add a few pickled red onions and garnish with cilantro if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps immediately for the best flavor and texture. They pair well with a side of fresh salad or crunchy veggie sticks. For an extra kick, add a drizzle of vegan aioli or hot sauce.
Enjoy this vegan twist on classic BBQ flavors that is both satisfying and nutritious!
