Jackfruit Tacos

If you've never tried jackfruit you're in for a real treat. Young canned jackfruit is fantastic at imitating shredded chicken in terms of texture. It's got a stringy fibrous quality that once cooked could easily pass off as pulled chicken. While young jackfruit is basically neutral in taste it's perfect for soaking up spices and seasonings. In this taco recipe we marinated in Cuban mojo criollo which is a garlicky and citrusy marinade that takes the jackfruit over the top delicious. You can find my mojo recipe on the website. After an overnight soak we can saute it until all the marinade is absorbed or evaporated for a delicious flavor. We pair the jackfruit with an easy to make delicious cilantro lime rice I like to make in the instapot. Finally I like to heat up some refried beans with some salsa for a super flavorful base to the tacos. I top the tacos with some lettuce tomatoes and my favorite vegan chipotle sauce that's also found on the site. I hope you try this recipe out go to the site for details and other recipes.
