Pulled Jackfruit Tacos

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone. Still not sure what to cook today? Have this easy but flavorful Pulled Jackfruit tacos and you are done with diner or lunch. I have used frozen jackfruit but you can use canned one too. Add more or less sauce, depend upon your choice and its ready. The texture is similar to meat but more healthy and guiltfree. You can make it in big batch and save it for later use too, since it freeze well. For the BBQ sauce you can use your readymade vegan or regular BBQ sauce or you can make it yours. What ever jackfruit you are using cut the jackfruit into thin slices from core to the outer edge , this breaks up the tougher core as much as possible and gives best shredded texture. 

Ingredients for Stuffing :

1 can or 1 cup Jackfruit, shredded

1 tbsp. oil

1 onion sliced

3 cloves of thinly chopped garlic

1/2 cup vegetable stock /broth

1 tbsp. agave syrup

1/2 lime juice

2 tsp. Cayenne powder

1 tbsp. Cumin powder

1 tbsp. Smoked paprika

Salt as per taste

Or you can just use readymade BBQ sauce

For Tacos:

4 Soft street taco - corn or flour

1/4 cup white onion chopped

1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Lime wedges 

Method:

Cut the jackfruit as mentioned above.

Heat the pan , add oil in it, when its hot, add onion and garlic and sauté till onions become softened. 

If you are using readymade sauce, add now and then add just the jackfruit. If its too sweet then only add lime juice, paprika and cayenne pepper.

Add jackfruit, stock, agave, lime juice and spices. Mix it and cover and reduce heat and let it cook till jackfruit is soften and half of the liquid is gone. 

With the help of the back of the spoon, smash the jackfruit to get the shredded texture. If it still have wet then cook for few minutes more.
