Ingredients Needed
- 1 can of young green jackfruit in brine or water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- Fresh salsa (tomato, onion, cilantro, lime)
- Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Preparation Steps
Drain the jackfruit and rinse thoroughly. Use your hands or forks to shred the jackfruit into stringy pieces that resemble shredded meat. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is heated through and slightly crispy.
While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare your salsa. Chop tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, then combine with lime juice in a bowl. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Once ready, assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of the jackfruit mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh salsa and optional toppings like sliced avocado and additional cilantro.
