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.
