BBQ Jackfruit Burritos [Vegan Burritos]
Description
This vegan burrito recipe starts by rinsing canned young jackfruit to remove brine flavor, then shredding it to create strands similar to pulled pork. A homemade barbecue sauce mixing ketchup, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, mustard, and smoked paprika is whisked and poured over the jackfruit, thoroughly coating it.
The sauced jackfruit can be baked, pressure cooked in an Instant Pot, or sautéed on the stove to infuse flavors and warm the filling. Burrito components like cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro add layers of texture and brightness.
Assembling the burritos involves layering fillings inside tortillas, topped with salsa, guacamole, and cashew cream for creaminess. Care is advised to avoid overfilling, as it can make burritos hard to wrap and prone to falling apart.
Leftover toppings store well separately in the fridge for several days, allowing quick assembly when desired.
Ingredients
- 20 ounce jackfruit in brine or water NOT syrup, young, green; canned
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari if avoiding gluten
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Vegan Burritos
- tortilla wraps gluten free if preferred, of choice
- rice cooked
- black beans
- corn
- diced tomatoes
- black olives
- jalapeño peppers sliced
- cilantro fresh
- salsa
- guacamole
- cashew cream
Instructions
- Drain and rinse your jackfruit very well to wash away the brine flavour. Then use your hands (or two forks on a cutting board) to pull apart the chunks of jackfruit until shredded. Place in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- In another small bowl add ALL the sauce ingredients and whisk to combine. Then pour it over the jackfruit and mix to evenly coat. Choose a cooking method below.
Oven Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the coated jackfruit on the tray and bake for 20 minutes, mixing once at the halfway point. Remove from the oven.
Instant Pot Instructions
- Add the coated jackfruit to your Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Then naturally release for 10 minutes. If not fully released after 10 minutes, quick release the remaining pressure and open the lid once safe to do so.
Stove Top Instructions
- Place the coated jackfruit in a medium pan and cook over medium-high heat and stir occasionally, until the sauce is mostly absorbed. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Assemble your Vegan Burritos
- Assemble your jackfruit burrito with desired toppings and tortilla wrap of choice, or make it a jackfruit burrito bowl over a bed of lettuce with desired toppings on top.
Notes
- Rinsing the jackfruit thoroughly is essential to remove brine taste before cooking.
- Do not overfill burritos to maintain structure and ease of eating.
- Store leftover toppings separately in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to keep them fresh for assembling later.
