  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

Pulled Jackfruit

  • Rinse jackfruit under water and squeeze out excess water from each piece. Use a fork to “pull” it so it has a stringy texture. 
  • Add 1 tbsp oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent. 
  • Add all spices, the hot sauce, and the tamari. Cook for a minute before adding jackfruit. Cook for 2-3 minutes before adding 3/4 cup water. 
  • Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir once in the middle of this time. It should be done!

Cilantro Garlic Sauce

  • For the sauce, simply process all the ingredients in a small food processor.

Assemble the tacos

  • Mash the avocado and mix in lime juice and pepper. Heat tortillas on the stove. Spread mashed avocado on one side of the tortilla.
  • No add red cabbage, pulled jackfruit, cilantro garlic sauce, and any leftover slices of avocado. ENJOY!
