Stir the onion, garlic, bay leaf, chipotle, adobo sauce, cumin, oregano, salt, tomatoes and vegetables stock together in the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the jackfruit and stir to coat.
Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Then, shred the jackfruit with two forks and stir it together with the sauce.
Transfer the jackfruit to a baking sheet and place it under the broiler for 5 minutes until it gets lightly charred and crispy.
Serve the jackfruit on tortillas and top with Mango Avocado Salsa, sour cream or yogurt, and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
