Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 14-ounce cans of jackfruit
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you want really spicy)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 8 radishes thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, destemmed
- 1 cup fresh salsa
- 2 avocados, peeled, sliced
- 8 small corn tortillas
Directions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and then sauté garlic and onions until they start to brown on the edges.
- While the onions cook, drain the jackfruit. Cut the core off of the jackfruit chunks. Using two forks, shred the jackfruit meat, removing the seed pods.
- Place the shredded jackfruit, cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt to the pan. Add the water. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the corn tortillas. It is best to quickly grill them but warming over the stove. Alternatively, you can wrap them in a slightly dampened paper towel and heat them in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
- Assemble the tacos using the spicy jackmeat mixture, topped with avocado slices, radish slices, shredded carrot, and cilantro.
