Ingredients

  • 1 20 oz can green jackfruit (in brine) drained
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 4 oz can green chiles
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp Better than Bouillon no chicken base or 1/2 cup veggie broth
  • 1 T olive oil

For serving

  • 6-8 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 c cilantro
  • 1/2 lime, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  • In a medium sized pot place jackfruit and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to low and let simmer for ten minutes.
  • While jackfruit simmers, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté until almost translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Drain jackfruit from the broth, then add it to sauté pan with onion and garlic. Add the whole can of green chiles with its juices, chili powder, and cumin. Using two forks, start to pull the jackfruit. It should shred pretty easily. Let cook for about 5 minutes on medium low, so the flavors can meld.
  • To serve, warm corn tortillas in a skillet. Top with pulled jackfruit, avocado, cilantro, and lime. Enjoy!
