Ingredients
 

Crispy Jackfruit Tacos:

  • 2 cups Shredded Jackfruit
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Shallot
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon Salt taste and adjust
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

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.

  • 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.
