Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°
  • In a large pan heat about 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Once heated, add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add jackfruit to the pan and combine together with the onions and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes.
  • Add all seasonings, brown sugar, vegetable broth and lime juice. Stir together and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Let sit for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While simmering, prepare a baking pan for the oven by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Once the liquid has evaporated from the pan, evenly spread the jackfruit mixture over the pan (remove the bay leaves), then transfer to the oven for 25 minutes.
  • While the jackfruit is cooking, you can begin preparing your favorite taco toppings (chopped cilantro, diced tomato, red onions...etc.) and warming your tortillas.
  • After 25 minutes, remove the jackfruit from the oven and build your tacos.
  • Enjoy!
