Jackfruit Tacos
This Easy Jackfruit Tacos Recipe makes the BEST rich, tender shredded jackfruit with crispy, crunchy edges, perfect for tacos, burritos, or just eating by the forkful.
Ingredients
- 2 cans young green unripened jackfruit in brine
- 1/2 white onion chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 jalapeno diced
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 8-10 corn tortillas or flour tortillas
- diced onion, cilantro, avocado optional for serving
- 1 Tbsp olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Drain both cans of jackruit. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in frying pan. Fry chopped white onion until translucent. Add minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add jalapeno, salt and pepper and spices. Mix well.
- Add lime juice, vegetable broth and jackfruit. Mix well and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup. Use a large slotted spoon to transfer jackfruit to the baking sheet and spread it in an even layer over the surface. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid over the jackfruit, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 15 minutes, or until a little browned.
- Remove from oven. Assemble your tacos. We use corn tortillas, but use what your family prefers. I love to top with chopped onion, cilantro and avocado. Then, finish with salsa on top and enjoy!
