Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp chili powder

2 20oz cans young green jackfruit, drained and shredded

1/2 cup vegetable broth

Salt and pepper to taste

8 corn tortillas

1 avocado

1/4 cup vegan sour cream

1 tbsp lime juice

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

2. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet, mixing well to coat with the spices.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.

7. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of jackfruit filling into each tortilla. Drizzle with avocado crema and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeño if using.
