Ingredients

• 1 onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 20 ounce cans green jackfruit in water or brine
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth
• 12 whole grain corn tortillas

Topping Ideas

• shredded cabbage
• chopped cilantro
• chopped red onions
• avocado
• salsa
• chopped green onions

Instructions

• Rinse and drain the jackfruit. Set on a cutting board and shred with your hands. Chop the harder pieces with a knife.
• Add chopped onion & minced garlic to a large pan over medium heat and broth saute for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the jackfruit, spices, tomato paste, lime juice, and water/broth and stir to combine. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. If too dry, add more water or broth.
• Wrap tortillas in a paper towel and heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm. This will help them be softer so they don't crack at the bottom.
• Assemble tacos by filling with the jackfruit and your favorite toppings!
