Jackfruit "Pulled Pork" Tacos

Ingredients

• 2 cans young green jackfruit in water or brine, drained
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• corn tortillas
• shredded cabbage for serving

Method

1. 1

   Drain and rinse the jackfruit, then shred it with two forks into pulled-pork-like strands before cooking — shredding it first, rather than after simmering, is what lets every strand soak up the sauce evenly instead of just the outer pieces absorbing flavor.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic 4-5 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Add the shredded jackfruit and smoked paprika, cooking 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in BBQ sauce, and simmer 10-12 minutes until the jackfruit has absorbed the sauce and turned tender.

5. 5

   Serve in warm corn tortillas topped with shredded cabbage.
