Ingredients

2 cans young green jackfruit in water or brine, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
2-3 tablespoons chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Jackfruit: Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Remove the core and shred the jackfruit pieces with your hands or a fork.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Cook the Jackfruit: Add the shredded jackfruit, pineapple chunks, chipotle sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the jackfruit to caramelize slightly.
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: Spoon the jackfruit mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
