Ingredients
- • canned young jackfruit in water or brine: 2 cups, drained and shredded
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • onion powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • corn tortillas: 8
- • red cabbage: 1 cup, thinly sliced
- • ripe mango: 1, peeled and julienned
- • lime: 1, juiced
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • jalapeño: 1, finely chopped (optional)
- • avocado: 1, sliced
- • lime wedges: for serving
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your jackfruit achieves a crispy texture during cooking.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the shredded jackfruit with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the jackfruit is evenly coated with the spices.
- 3 Place the seasoned jackfruit in the air fryer basket, spreading it out to ensure even cooking. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the jackfruit is crispy and golden brown.
- 4 While the jackfruit cooks, prepare the mango slaw by combining the red cabbage, mango, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño in a bowl. Toss well to combine and set aside.
- 5 Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until pliable.
- 6 Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of crispy jackfruit onto each tortilla. Top with the mango slaw and avocado slices. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Crispy Air Fryer Jackfruit Tacos are best enjoyed with a side of black bean salad or a refreshing cucumber and tomato salad to add more veggies to your meal. Consider pairing them with a chilled glass of sparkling water infused with fresh mint and lime for a refreshing beverage option. To elevate the experience, garnish your tacos with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, keep the jackfruit and mango slaw in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat the jackfruit, use the air fryer on a low setting for a few minutes to regain its crispiness. Assemble fresh tacos with the reheated jackfruit and cold slaw for a quick meal that retains its tasty, vibrant qualities.
