Ingredients

• Canned young green jackfruit in water - 400 g
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - ½ teaspoon
• Black pepper - ¼ teaspoon
• Vegetable broth - 100 ml
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit, then use your hands to shred the jackfruit pieces into a pulled texture.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the jackfruit is tender and well-seasoned.
6. While the jackfruit is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of the pulled jackfruit on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and radishes.
8. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
