Notes
- If you want this recipe to be kid-friendly, just omit the chili sauce.
- If you want your topping to be extra flavorful, marinate the jackfruit for a few hours or even overnight.
- You can serve this with the filling already in the lettuce cups or just place the filling on a serving plate at the center and let your guests pile the lettuce up with their preferred toppings.
