Originally, jackfruit, native to South India, was used in savory dishes centuries ago. With the rise of veganism, this versatile fruit has found its way into Western dishes like tacos as a popular meat substitute.

One evening, after I discovered the wonder of jackfruit' meat-like texture, I decided to try it in a taco. The results were so delicious that I've been making these vegan tacos ever since.

Ingredients

2 cups young green jackfruit
1 cups taco seasoning
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 pieces taco shells
1 pieces pineapple
1 pieces red onion
1 cups cilantro
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 pieces jalapeno

Instructions

Drain the jackfruit and pat dry. Pull apart the pieces to achieve a shredded texture.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the jackfruit and taco seasoning, stir to coat, and cook for about 10 minutes.
While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the pineapple salsa. Chop the pineapple, red onion, and jalapeno. Combine in a bowl with the cilantro and lime juice. Mix well.
Heat the taco shells according to the package instructions.
Assemble your tacos by filling each shell with the spicy jackfruit, then topping with the pineapple salsa.
