Chili Lime Jackfruit Tacos

Combine spices for the seasoning rub. Set aside.

Rinse and drain the jackfruit. In a large bowl, mix jackfruit with the seasoning rub and garlic. While you are mixing the jackfruit, use your hands to shred the jackfruit until it has a pulled pork consistency. Don’t worry, this doesn’t need to be perfect—you can shred further during the simmering process.

Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add shallots and saute until soft, about 2–3 minutes. Add the jackfruit and cook for about 4–5 minutes. It’s okay if the jackfruit starts sticking to the pan. Add the water and stir, making sure you get any yummy pieces that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Add remaining ingredients for the simmering sauce. Mix well. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, and break down the jackfruit more if necessary. At the 20-minute mark, drain if there is excess liquid. You want all the liquid cooked down. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.

Serve on heated corn tortillas with toppings of your choice! Topping suggestions include pickled red onion (as pictured), jalepeno, avacado or quacamole, vegan shredded cheese, sliced radishes, cabbage slaw, cilantro, lime … however you like to enjoy your tacos!
