Take note
Keep in mind that working with fresh jackfruit can be a bit sticky, so make sure to have some wet wipes or a sink nearby for easy cleanup.

1

Prepare the Jackfruit

Drain and rinse two 20-ounce cans of young green jackfruit in water. Then, remove the core from the jackfruit pieces and shred them into smaller chunks using your hands or two forks.

2

Saute the Aromatics

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and saute 1 diced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves until they turn translucent and fragrant.

3

Cook the Jackfruit

Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help remove any excess moisture from the jackfruit.

4

Spice it Up

In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the jackfruit in the skillet and stir well to coat.

5

Add the Sauce

Pour 1 cup of barbecue sauce and 1/4 cup of vegetable broth into the skillet with the jackfruit. Stir everything together until the jackfruit is evenly coated in the sauce.

6

Simmer and Shred

Reduce the heat to low and let the jackfruit simmer for about 15 minutes, or until it becomes tender and easy to shred. Use two forks to shred the jackfruit, just like you would with pulled pork.

7

Warm Up the Tortillas

Heat up your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for a minute on each side, or until they become soft and pliable.

8

Assemble and Enjoy

Fill each warm tortilla with a generous portion of the jackfruit 'pulled pork' and top it with your favorite taco toppings like diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice. Get ready to fiesta in your mouth!
