Jackfruit Fajitas
Jackfruit Fajitas
1 20 ounce can jackfruit in water or brine, drained and rinsed
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 bell peppers (different colors are great)
2-3 cloves garlic, mashed
1 cup vegetable stock
2 teaspoons ancho or chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For garnish:
Corn tortillas
Sliced avocado, sliced onion, cilantro, hot sauce, lime wedges
Cut the jackfruit into thin slices.
Heat a tablespoon oil in a pan and add onion and peppers and saute until they are soft
Add garlic and stir but don’t burn
Add the spices and toast until fragrant
Add jackfruit and vegetable stock and cook until the fruit has softened and liquid has reduced – 5-10 minutes
Using a potato masher, mash up the jackfruit so it looks like shredded meat
Season and serve with garnishes
