Step 1
Start by warming a little oil in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the jackfruit and cook it, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning along with a tablespoon of water, then stir everything together until the spices are well mixed and the jackfruit is nicely coated. If it looks a bit dry, add a splash more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a nice, saucy consistency. Once it’s heated through and flavorful, spoon some of the jackfruit mixture into each taco shell. Top each one with a couple of tablespoons of salsa, and you’re ready to dig in!
Why you’ll love it
These tacos offer a delicious and satisfying plant-based alternative that is full of flavor and texture. The jackfruit mimics the shredded meat experience, making it perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty vegan meal. Plus, it’s packed with nutrients and easy to customize.
How to serve
Serve these tacos with fresh toppings like avocado slices, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and vegan sour cream. Adding a side of black beans or Mexican rice can make the meal even more filling and balanced.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover jackfruit filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the texture intact. The assembled tacos are best eaten fresh to avoid sogginess.
