Provided by Plant Based Life

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

2 (20 ounce) cans young green jackfruit packed in water, drained
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
¾ cup water
¼ cup orange juice
1 medium lime, juiced
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 leaf (blank)s bay leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

Mix jackfruit with garlic, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a large bowl, using your hands to shred the jackfruit while mixing until it has a pulled pork consistency.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallot and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add seasoned jackfruit and let cook together, 4 to 5 minutes; it's okay if the jackfruit starts sticking to the pan. Pour in water and stir, making sure you get any yummy pieces that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add orange juice, lime juice, chipotle pepper, maple syrup, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper; mix together well. Let simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking down the jackfruit more if necessary, for 25 minutes. Drain if there is an excess of liquid during the cooking process; you want all of the liquid cooked down. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve on warm corn tortillas.

Spice It Up: Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to your liking. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
Make It Your Own: Feel free to add other vegetables to the chili, such as bell peppers, corn, or black beans.
Serve It Right: Serve the jackfruit tacos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
