EASY VEGAN JACKFRUIT TACOS
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or preferred oil)
1 small onion , finely diced
3-4 cloves garlic , minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 14 oz cans young jackfruit in water or brine. Rinsed and drained well
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt , more to taste
3/4 cup vegetable broth
8 Corn tortillas
Directions:
Start by shredding the jackfruit in a food processor. Pulse a few times to get a "shredded meat" texture. Don't over pulse or it will be mushy. If you have a small food processor, you may need to work in batches. If you don't have a food processor, you can cut the jackfruit into thin slices and shred some by hand.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Now add the tomato paste and cook for 30-60 seconds more.
Add the shredded jackfruit and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Now add the spices and sauté until fragrant about 1 minute.
Pour in the vegetable broth and cook until the liquid has cooked down completely about 3-4 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more if needed. Remove from heat.
Warm up your corn tortillas one at a time in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 30 seconds on each side. Now build tacos to your taste. See notes for serving ideas. Enjoy!
