Ingredients

  • 20 ounce can young green jackfruit in brine or water NOT syrup
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 of choice gluten free if preferred
  • cooked rice
  • black beans
  • corn
  • diced tomatoes
  • black olives
  • sliced jalapeno
  • fresh cilantro
  • salsa
  • guacamole
  • Cashew cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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

  • Do not over stuff your vegan burritos or they will be difficult to close and hold and may fall apart. Less is more!
  • Store leftover toppings in separate containers in your fridge for 3-4 days and assemble your jackfruit burrito just before eating to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.
