Ingredients
For jackfruit 'pulled pork':
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium-size red onion peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper or chili powder optional
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 can jackfruit in brine
- 2 tbsp sweet or hot chipotle sauce
- 1 tbsp tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tbsp agave or maple syrup optional
- water if necessary
- salt, pepper to taste
To make tacos:
- 1 pack gluten-free corn taco shells
- 1/2 red cabbage shredded
- 1 avocado peeled, stone removed and cut in small cubes
- lime wedges
- fresh coriander leaves
- chipotle sauce
Instructions
- In a saucepan heat olive oil and add onion, garlic, and spices. Sauteé for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add chipotle sauce and jackfruit with brine. Don't rinse it or drain it. With a wooden spatula, try to beat jackfruit a little bit until it resembles pulled pork. If you can't beat some pieces, leave it there. Tey will soften later.
- Sauteé for about 5 minutes, then add tamari sauce and agave or maple syrup, if using. If the jackfruit starts sticking at the bottom, add some more water. Cook it for another 10 minutes.
- Taste the jackfruit mix and add salt and/or pepper. Take it off from the heat and let it cool down.
- Asamble your tacos: Put some shredded cabbage att the bottom of taco shells, add the jackfruit mix and top it with avocado pieces, lime wedges, and fresh coriander leaves. Add also some chipotle sauce if you like. Enjoy!
