Description

Shredded jackfruit is flavored with taco seasoning and topped with a zesty mango slaw in these easy vegetarian tacos.

Ingredients

1/2 cup finely shredded green cabbage
1/4 cup finely shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh mango
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 medium lime, juiced
1 (14 ounce) can green jackfruit in brine, drained
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning, or to taste
3 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

1 Combine green and red cabbage, mango, carrot, jalapeño, mayonnaise, and lime juice for slaw in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are coated with mayonnaise; set aside.
2 Prepare tacos: Gently pull jackfruit flesh apart as you would for pulled pork or chicken, discarding any seeds or pods.
3 Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shredded jackfruit and taco seasoning; cook and stir until heated through and blended with seasoning, 2 to 3 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, heat another cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add tortillas and heat for 15 to 30 seconds per side.
5 Put jackfruit mixture in the middle of each tortilla and top with slaw and cilantro.
