TASTY JACKFRUIT TACO RECIPE



Tasty Jackfruit Taco Recipe image

Jackfruit is such a pliable ingredient to cook with as it has textures similar to pork and can easily absorb flavors. These fajitas can go in a taco or be eaten in a bowl by itself. I also like how I don't feel super full after eating jackfruit even though it is satisfying. See the recipe below for some jackfruit fajitas!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 10 oz package Upton's Jackfruit or the Jackfruit company
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red onion (diced)
1/2 lb mushrooms (sliced)
1 poblano pepper (sliced)
1 serrano pepper (diced and seeded - add another one if you like spice!)
2 cloves garlic (diced)
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp red pepper
2 tsp cumin, I usually like to add more
2 tsp paprika, I usually like to add more
2 tsp chili powder, I usually like to add more
2 tsp cayenne pepper, if you are sensitive to spice, then just start out with 1 tsp
1 avocado (optional for slices or guacamole)
2 tbsp vegan or dairy cheese of your choice (Violife has vegan cheddar for tacos)
3 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
6 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Chop the onion, mushrooms, poblano, serrano pepper, garlic, and cilantro.
  • Heat up a medium frying pan and then add oil to it on medium-low heat.
  • Add the onions, let them sauté for about 2-3 minutes till translucent.
  • Then add the poblano pepper, serrano, and mushrooms and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  • Then add the garlic and stir for about 1 more minute.
  • Once the vegetables are properly sautéed, then add half of the spices, season to taste.
  • Sauté the jackfruit with the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes making sure that the jackfruit is tender and has absorbed the flavors. Add the rest of the spices to the jackfruit as well. I usually do but see how you feel about the spice level first.
  • Pour your water and tomato paste into the pan, mix it all up and make sure the tomato paste is spread throughout.
  • Sprinkle some cilantro on top and your fajitas are ready for a tortilla or a bowl!

JACKFRUIT TACOS



Jackfruit Tacos image

Jackfruit is a fantastic and crowd-pleasing ingredient with a fibrous texture and flesh that soaks up flavor brilliantly, but it can be hard to find. Try your local Asian supermarket and be sure to choose green jackfruit in water. These tacos are perfect finger food, combining tasty jackfruit with a Mexican combo of zingy salsa and creamy guacamole.

Provided by Henry Firth

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 can (14 oz) young green jackfruit in water
1 white onion
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
7 tbsp vegetable stock
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
4 limes
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2-1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
Handful fresh cilantro
12 crunchy taco shells
1 cup guacamole
1 cup salsa
Deep frying pan with a lid over medium heat

Steps:

  • Tip the jackfruit into a sieve or colander to drain the excess water and pat the pieces down with a clean kitchen towel to dry them off | Cut into 1/4-inch strips and put to one side
  • Peel and slice the onion and garlic very thinly | Warm the vegetable oil in the frying pan | Add the onion and garlic to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon until soft and translucent | Add the jackfruit, maple syrup, vegetable stock, and Tabasco sauce | Cut 1 of the limes in half and squeeze in the juice of one half, catching any seeds in your other hand | Stir until the jackfruit is well covered
  • Put the lid on the pan, turn down the heat, and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed into the jackfruit | Take the lid off the pan and sprinkle in all the spices and the salt | Stir until the jackfruit pieces are well covered and taking on the color of the spices | Transfer the jackfruit pieces to a serving dish
  • Slice the remaining limes into wedges and remove the leaves from the cilantro by running your thumb and forefinger from the top to the base of the stems (the leaves should easily come away), saving the stems for another recipe | Serve the taco shells, jackfruit, guacamole, salsa, lime wedges, and cilantro leaves on individual plates and let everyone build their own tacos
