Ingredients
- 2 20 oz. cans Jackfruit in brine or water seeds removed, drained and squeezed dry with a clean dish cloth
- ¼ cup jerk marinade
- 2 ripe sweet plantains sliced and skin removed
- enough oil for frying
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- ½ red onion sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
- tortillas for serving
- fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- In a large bowl, add the squeezed jackfruit, and jerk marinade in a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Spread the seasoned jackfruit over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and transfer to the oven to bake for 25 minutes.
- While the jackfruit is in the oven, heat a large pan of oil (about ½-¾ inches high) over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced plantains and cook until both sides are golden brown, flipping over halfway. Transfer the cooked plantains to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In another large pan, sauté the peppers and onions over medium heat until charred and softened considerably. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
