Try these zesty air fryer jackfruit taquitos with avocado lime dip for a healthy, vegan-friendly twist on a classic snack. Perfect for guilt-free munching!
Ingredients
- • canned young jackfruit in water or brine: 2 cups, drained and shredded
- • small corn tortillas: 8
- • red bell pepper: 1/2, finely chopped
- • red onion: 1/4, finely chopped
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • cumin: 1/2 teaspoon
- • chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • avocado: 1, peeled and pitted
- • Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (for vegan option): 1/4 cup
- • lime zest: 1 teaspoon
- • salt and black pepper: to taste
- • olive oil spray: as needed
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the red onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the shredded jackfruit, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant and heated through. Stir in the cilantro and remove from heat.
- 3 Place about 2 tablespoons of the jackfruit mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Lightly spray the exterior of each taquito with olive oil spray.
- 4 Arrange the taquitos in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the taquitos are crispy and golden brown.
- 5 While the taquitos are cooking, prepare the avocado lime dip by mashing the avocado in a bowl. Mix in the Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt, lime zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- 6 Serve the taquitos hot with a side of avocado lime dip. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
- • These zesty jackfruit taquitos make a delightful meal when served with a side of black bean salad or a fresh tomato salsa. A handful of mixed greens with a light vinaigrette can add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the taquitos. Pair with a chilled glass of hibiscus iced tea or a tangy lime soda for a refreshing beverage that complements the flavors perfectly.
Storage Tips
Store leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness. The avocado lime dip can be stored in a separate airtight container for 2 days. Be sure to press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip to prevent browning.
