Ingredients

2 cans young green jackfruit in water or brine, drained and rinsed
1 cup BBQ sauce of choice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
2 ripe avocados, sliced
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Jackfruit: Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Remove the core and seeds, then shred the jackfruit pieces with your hands or a fork.
Cook the Jackfruit: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add BBQ Sauce: Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir to coat the jackfruit evenly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous portion of the BBQ jackfruit on each tortilla, top with avocado slices, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
