Jackfruit Tacos image

This jackfruit tacos recipe is my vegan spin on traditional pork carnitas tacos. The spicy cumin chipotle sauce is delicious and coats the shredded jackfruit so well that even meat eaters won't notice the difference! -Lila Cornelio, Morton Grove, Illinois

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium onions, sliced
3/4 pound portobello mushroom, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 cans (14 ounces each) jackfruit, drained and shredded
2 to 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds or pepitas, toasted
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
12 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
Optional: Lime wedges, sliced cabbage, salsa, cilantro leaves, avocado

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook onions in 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are tender, 8-10 minutes. , Meanwhile, in a blender, process chipotle peppers and next 6 ingredients with 4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add jackfruit and sauce to onion mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce darkens in color and starts to caramelize onto jackfruit, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in pumpkin seeds and nutritional yeast. Cook 10 minutes. Serve jackfruit mixture in tortillas; add toppings as desired.
