Instructions
- Drain the brine and rinse the wedges thoroughly.

- Add shredded jackfruit, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, honey, and water.
- Stir fry to coat and reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid, add the rest of the BBQ sauce, and stir fry for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened. (Taste test the sauce, add more BBQ sauce and honey if needed)
- Serve them over tortillas together with avocado, shredded red cabbage and cilantro for a complete meal!
Notes
- The cooked BBQ jackfruit can last up to 3 days in the fridge. You can eat it cold or reheat in the microwave.
