- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 20 ounce cans green jackfruit in water or brine
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth
- 12 whole grain corn tortillas
Topping Ideas

- chopped cilantro
- chopped red onions
- avocado
- salsa
- chopped green onions
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the jackfruit. Set on a cutting board and shred with your hands. Chop the harder pieces with a knife.
- Add chopped onion & minced garlic to a large pan over medium heat and broth saute for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the jackfruit, spices, tomato paste, lime juice, and water/broth and stir to combine. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. If too dry, add more water or broth.
- Wrap tortillas in a paper towel and heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm. This will help them be softer so they don't crack at the bottom.
- Assemble tacos by filling with the jackfruit and your favorite toppings!
