BBQ Jackfruit Tacos

BBQ Jackfruit Tacos are a deliciously smoky and savory plant-based dish, perfect for a satisfying lunch. These tacos feature tender jackfruit coated in a rich barbecue sauce, topped with fresh veggies for an extra crunch.

Ingredients

• young green jackfruit in brine - 400 grams (drained and rinsed)
• barbecue sauce - 100 grams
• olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• onion - 1 medium (finely chopped)
• garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• salt - to taste
• black pepper - to taste
• corn tortillas - 4 small
• red cabbage - 100 grams (shredded)
• cilantro - a handful (chopped)
• lime - 1 (cut into wedges)

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Shred the drained jackfruit using your hands or a fork, then add it to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
4. Stir in cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
5. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir until the jackfruit is well-coated. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is heated through and slightly caramelized.
6. While the jackfruit is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of BBQ jackfruit on each tortilla, then top with shredded red cabbage and chopped cilantro.
8. Serve with lime wedges on the side for drizzling over the tacos.
