Vegan Fish Tacos

These Vegan Fish Tacos are a delightful twist on traditional seafood, combining marinated jackfruit with fresh Mediterranean flavors. Served with a zesty tzatziki sauce and topped with crisp vegetables, they offer a satisfying and healthy meal.

Ingredients

• Young green jackfruit - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Cucumber - 1/2, diced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1/4, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Vegan yogurt - 100 grams
• Dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the young green jackfruit. Cut it into chunks and use your hands to shred it into a fish-like texture.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shredded jackfruit and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the jackfruit marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining vegan yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, dill, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated jackfruit. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy.
5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side until pliable.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the jackfruit mixture on each tortilla. Top with diced tomato, red onion, and fresh parsley.
7. Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the filled tacos and serve immediately.
