Ingredients

Servings:4
  • Canned Jackfruit(800 g)
  • Olive oil(2 tbsp)
  • Onion(1)
  • Garlic(3 cloves)
  • Tomato paste(2 tbsp)
  • Smoked paprika(2 tsp)
  • Cumin(2 tsp)
  • Dried Oregano(1 tsp)
  • Chili flakes(½ tsp)
  • Tomato sauce(4 tbsp)
  • Vegetable Broth(120 ml)
  • Lime(2)
  • Cabbage(300 g)
  • Coriander(20 g)
  • Avocado(1)
  • Tortilla(8)
  • Salt(1½ tsp)
  • Black pepper(½ tsp)

Method

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse {Canned Jackfruit}, then squeeze out excess moisture. Pull apart the larger pieces with your fingers or a fork so you have rough shreds. Thinly slice {Onion}, mince {Garlic}, finely shred {Cabbage}, chop {Fresh cilantro}, cut {Lime} into wedges, and slice {Avocado}.

    ~13 min

  2. 2

    Heat {Olive oil} in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add {Onion} with half the {Salt} and cook until softened and lightly golden. Stir in {Garlic}, {Smoked paprika}, {Cumin}, {Oregano}, and {Chili flakes} for the final minute.

    ~6 min

  3. 3

    Stir in {Tomato paste}, then add {Canned Jackfruit}, {Tomato sauce}, and {Vegetable Stock}. Mix well, pressing and tossing the jackfruit so it picks up the smoky red coating. Simmer until the liquid reduces and the jackfruit is tender and juicy.

    ~12 min

  4. 4

    While the jackfruit simmers, toss {Cabbage} with half the chopped {Fresh cilantro}, the juice of 1 {Lime}, the remaining {Salt}, and {Black pepper}. Warm the {Tortilla} in a dry pan or directly over a flame for a few seconds per side until soft and pliable.

    ~4 min

  5. 5

    Spoon the smoky jackfruit into the warm {Tortilla}, top with cabbage slaw, {Avocado}, the remaining {Fresh cilantro}, and extra {Lime} wedges for squeezing over.

    ~3 min
