Ingredients
BBQ Jackfruit
1 can jackfruit, drained
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp agave
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp sambal oelek (or chili paste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp liquid smoke
½ cup BBQ sauce
To Serve
Flour or corn tortillas
½ red cabbage, thinly sliced
Pico de gallo
Avocado (optional)
Lettuce (optional)
Jalapeños (optional)
Hot sauce of choice
Fresh lime wedges
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3–5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
Step 2
Stir in the smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add the sambal oelek and cook for another minute.
Step 3
Add the jackfruit, soy sauce, agave, and liquid smoke. As it cooks, gently break the jackfruit apart with a spoon to create a shredded texture.
Step 4
Stir in the BBQ sauce and continue cooking for about 10 minutes until the jackfruit is tender and coated in the sauce.
Step 5
Warm the tortillas.
Step 6
Fill each tortilla with the BBQ jackfruit and top with red cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, lettuce, jalapeños, hot sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
