- 4 garlic minced, medium cloves
- 2 jackfruit young, canned 14 ounce, in water or brine
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning see notes
- 2 tsp adobo sauce or 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce

Taco Toppings

Instructions
- 1. Saute aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil, onion and garlic to pan. Cook until fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 4-5 minutes.
- 2. Prepare jackfruit: Strain, rinse and pat dry the canned jackfruit. Remove the cores and begin shredding the soft centers (you can keep the pod-like centers if they're small or discard large ones). Once all shredded, pat dry again.
- 3. Cook jackfruit: Add shredded jackfruit into skillet, sprinkle on taco seasoning, adobo sauce, salt and pepper. Stir to coat and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- 4. Add liquids: Then add in water and juice of 1 lime. Stir and simmer for 20 minutes. Now your jackfruit taco meat is ready for tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, salads and more.
- 6. Serve jackfruit as you would for tacos, using your favorite shells and adding your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- JACKFRUIT - Make sure to get young jackfruit, in water or brine – not syrup. You can find here.
- TACO SEASONING - Make this easy homemade taco seasoning if you don't have any on hand. Or I suggest this combination of spices: 1 Tbsp Chili Powder, ½ Tbsp Paprika, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder.
- 1 Tbsp Chili Powder,
- ½ Tbsp Paprika,
- 2 tsp cumin,
- 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder.
- STORAGE - Store leftover jackfruit taco meat in an airtight container in the fridge, use within 4-5 days.
- FREEZER - Jackfruit taco meat can also be frozen, up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge and then reheat on stovetop over medium heat.
