KOREAN BBQ JACKFRUIT TACOS | 15 Minute Vegan Meals
For this 15 minute vegan meal it is important that you use green or unripened jackfruit in brine. This most often comes in a can. I buy it from Trader Joe’s and from Caribbean or Asian markets. You may encounter ripe jackfruit in syrup, that will not work for this recipe. I have not found green jackfruit in any other form than a can, in the United States. Let me know if you have :) Double the ingredients to make more.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 can of green jackfruit , shredded with a fork (see the video for an example)
- 3/4 cup vegan Korean bbq sauce or a traditional American BBQ sauce
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup red cabbage
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 limes
- 6 corn tortillas or 8 mini corn tortillas
Instructions
- Place the shredded green jackfruit into a sauce pot, and cover with the Korean BBQ sauce. Stir well, and cook covered on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. The jackfruit and sauce should be gently simmering, but not boiling.
- While the jackfruit is cooking prepare your other taco ingredients. Slice the avocado, shred or thinly slice the cabbage, chop the cilantro, slice the lime, and warm the tortillas.
- Once the jackfruit is cooked, fill the warm tortillas with all of the ingredients, and drizzle any left over sauce from the pot onto the tacos. Squeeze fresh lime juice over them, and serve.
