Ingredients
- • canned young jackfruit: 2 cups (drained and rinsed)
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • corn tortillas: 8 small
- • ripe mango: 1, diced
- • ripe avocado: 1, diced
- • red onion: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • jalapeño: 1 small, seeded and minced
Instructions
- 1 Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the drained jackfruit to the skillet.
- 2 Sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt over the jackfruit. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly with the spices.
- 3 Cook the jackfruit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly crisp on the edges.
- 4 Meanwhile, prepare the mango-avocado salsa by combining the diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Stir gently to combine and set aside.
- 5 Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave briefly to make them pliable.
- 6 To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the spiced jackfruit onto each tortilla, and top with the fresh mango-avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • These spiced jackfruit tacos are delightful on their own, but you can enhance the meal by serving them alongside a crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette dressing. To complement the tropical flavors of the mango-avocado salsa, consider pairing these tacos with a refreshing coconut water or a homemade limeade. For added spice, offer a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of extra chopped jalapeños. If you're entertaining guests, set up a taco bar with a variety of toppings such as shredded lettuce, pickled red onions, or crumbled cotija cheese for those who are not strictly vegan. This allows everyone to customize their tacos to their liking, making it a fun and interactive dining experience.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the spiced jackfruit and mango-avocado salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The jackfruit can be kept for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet over medium heat before serving. The mango-avocado salsa is best consumed within 1-2 days to maintain its freshness and prevent the avocado from browning. If needed, you can add a squeeze of lime juice to the salsa before storage to help preserve its color.
