Jackfruit TACOS coming right up

I had these for the first time at my neighbors' holiday party and I was IMPRESSED!  Honestly, it has been so much fun sharing vegan recipes together!!  Vegan fo-turkey from Trader Joe's at Friends-giving to hopefully a vegan scone baking session this weekend.  I also had a pulled pork "jackfruit" sandwich at Copper Mountain in Colorado, where Mike and I got engaged <3, that was delicious.  So, when I saw cans of jackfruit at Trader Joe's I was like "YESSSS, I WANT TO TRY THIS".  I looked up a few recipes but then I just winged it.  It's really just BBQ sauce and jackfruit. SUPER SIMPLE.  Oh, and all the toppings of course :).


Ingredients

*makes 4-5 tacos 

  • 1 can of jack fruit 
  • BBQ sauce of your choosing (we used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle BBQ sauce and I did not measure how much I used haha but probably 1/4-1/3 a cup total )
  • diced onions
  • garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • corn tortillas
  • toppings!!! 

Directions

  1. Rinse and drain jack fruit.
  2. Pull apart jack fruit (I honestly did this after I sauted it, but I think the sauce gets into it better if you pull it apart first)
  3. Dice onions (I used a quarter of a white onion).
  4. Saute onions and while they are caramelizing (and smelling great) mix the pulled apart jackfruit, garlic powder, onions, salt and pepper.
  5. Then add mixture to pan and saute for about 5 minutes until jackfruit has cooked down and has some char on them.
  6. Make your tacos! We used corn tortillas, lettuce, peppers, guacamole and red onions.
