Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by draining and rinsing the jackfruit to get rid of any brine flavor. Then, use your hands or two forks to shred the jackfruit into smaller pieces.
- 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- 4
Stir in the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the jackfruit.
- 5
Pour in the soy sauce and barbecue sauce, mixing everything well. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and well-coated with the sauce.
- 6
While the jackfruit is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat until they’re soft and pliable.
- 7
Once the jackfruit is ready, assemble your tacos by spooning the savory jackfruit mixture onto a tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
