The final dish for our fiesta theme is BBQ Jackfruit Tacos! Grab your Mango Lime Kombucha Margarita and Spicy Mango Salsa, sit back and enjoy the weekend ahead.
This recipe for BBQ Jackfruit Tacos is smoky, tangy and bright! This explosion of flavour will be ready in just 20 minutes and don’t worry, this recipe serves enough for seconds and thirds. If you are unable to find jackfruit that is already mixed with BBQ sauce then add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of your favourite vegan BBQ sauce to plain and drained jackfruit. I introduced you to jackfruit in my Southwest Jackfruit Quinoa Bowl and Vegan Jackfruit Stew. It is the best substitute for pulled pork.
You may notice that my tacos are rounded but not perfect. This is because I did not purchase them storebought in this shape, I use my oven rack to mould soft tacos into rounded ones so that they hold the ingredients. If you prefer to use soft shell tacos that lay flat, go ahead! You are the boss in your kitchen!
Scroll below for the full list of ingredients and instructions and get ready to dive into these delicious BBQ Jackfruit tacos. Serve them alongside my Skinny Green Pea Guacamole, and Spicy Mango Salsa.
