    Crispy Cheesy Jackfruit Tacos w/ Avocado Lime Sauce

    Jump to Recipe

    These Crispy Cheesy Jackfruit Tacos w/ Avocado Lime Sauce are my new favorite way to have jackfruit. Sometimes jackfruit is mushy and kind of, well, unpleasant. Not in this recipe!! The jackfruit is shredded and crisped up in a pan so it's not mushy and ends up with the perfect shredded texture.

Serve with the most delicious creamy avocado lime sauce, jarred or homemade salsa, or hot sauce. Or be like me and use all three! You're gonna love these crispy cheesy jackfruit tacos.

    Main Ingredients:

    • Jackfruit
    • Corn Tortillas
    • Vegan Cheddar Cheese
    • Avocado
    • Lime

    What I Used:

    1. Jackfruit: I use the canned Jackfruit from Trader Joe's but any brand will do.
    2. Vegan Cheddar Cheese: I used Daiya but recommend Follow Your Heart or Violife.

    Substitutions:

    1. Jackfruit: If you're not a fan of jackfruit, use crumbled baked tofu or vegan ground beef.
    2. Corn Tortillas: I prefer corn but flour tortillas will work as well. It would be similar to a quesadilla but still taste very delicious.
    3. Avocado Lime Sauce: Instead you can serve with guacamole, pico, or your favorite salsa or hot sauce.

    Tips & Tricks

    Buy the corn tortillas fresh the day or day before you plan to make this recipe. Older corn tortillas will become a bit stiff and crack when folded for recipes like this one. Make sure you’re buying a quality brand of corn tortillas that are soft and flexible. Don’t buy stiff corn tortillas. 

    Even if the tortillas are fresh, microwave them for a few seconds before rolling them. Basically, you want them to be as soft as possible but not soggy or stiff.

    Instructions

    • Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Shred the jackfruit using a fork or clean hands. Toss with minced shallot, garlic cloves, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

    • Combine all the sauce ingredients in to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt.
    • Serve Crispy Cheesy Jackfruit Tacos with the avocado lime sauce and hot sauce if desired. Enjoy!

    Notes

    These Crispy Jackfruit Tacos taste best fresh but can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven.
