Ingredients
- 2 cans of jackfruit in brine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- Toppings: diced avocado, chopped cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Use your hands to shred the jackfruit into small pieces, discarding any seeds or tough pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the jackfruit, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
- While the jackfruit is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until they are soft and pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon some of the jackfruit onto each tortilla and top with your desired toppings. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
