Instructions
-
Rinse the drained jackfruit to remove some of the brine.
-
Cut the jackfruit into thin slices from core to the outer edge. This will break up the tougher core and results in a shredded texture.
-
Sauté the onions, in the oil, in a large pan, over a medium heat until starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for a minute.
-
Add the chopped jackfruit, broth, agave, lime juice and the spices to the pan.
-
Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the jackfruit softens slightly, and about ½ of the liquid is absorbed - about 5 minutes.
- Mash the mixture with a potato masher until you achieve a shredded texture. If it is a bit wet cook a little longer. If it is a little dry, add a splash more vegetable broth. Assemble the Tacos
- Prepare the taco shells according to the packet directions.
-
Place sliced avocado in each shell, add a spoon of jackfruit mixture, top with the onion carrot and cheese and garnish with coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime juice.
