Vegan Jackfruit Tacos with Mango Salsa

Ingredients

• 20 oz Young Green Jackfruit (canned)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
• 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
• 12 count Corn Tortillas
• 1 large Mango
• 1/4 cup Red Onion
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1/2 small Jalapeno (optional)

Instructions

1. 1Open the cans of 20 oz Young Green Jackfruit, drain them well, and rinse the jackfruit under cool water. Use your fingers or a fork to shred the jackfruit into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. 2Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the 1 medium Onion, finely chopped, and the 2 cloves Garlic, minced. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent, and the garlic is fragrant.
3. 3Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet with the softened onion and garlic. Sprinkle in the 1 tablespoon Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika, 1 teaspoon Cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon Oregano. Pour in the 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth. Stir everything together to coat the jackfruit evenly. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed and reduced.
4. 4Stir the 2 tablespoons Lime Juice into the jackfruit mixture. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove the skillet from the heat.
5. 5Prepare the mango salsa: Peel and finely dice the 1 large Mango. Finely dice the 1/4 cup Red Onion. Finely chop the 1/4 cup Cilantro. If using, finely mince the 1/2 small Jalapeno (remove seeds for less heat). Combine all the diced and chopped ingredients in a medium bowl and gently mix.
6. 6Warm the 12 count Corn Tortillas. You can do this by heating them one at a time for about 20-30 seconds per side in a dry skillet over medium heat, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds until pliable.
7. 7Assemble the tacos by spooning the warm jackfruit mixture into each of the 12 Corn Tortillas. Top generously with the prepared mango salsa.
