Jackfruit Tacos
Serves 4
Ingredients
1/2 red onion
1 avocado
1 package Siete brand Almond Flour Grain-free Tortillas
Olive oil
1 package Jackfruit Company Pulled Pork (vegan & gluten free)
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons of your favorite mayonnaise
1/4 cup cilantro or parsley, chopped
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
Method
1. In a small bowl place a couple tablespoons of the onion. Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Rub with your fingers and set aside.
2. Make the cabbage slaw: In a medium size bowl, place the shredded green cabbage, mustard, maple syrup, remaining lime juice and mayo. Mix together and set aside.
3. In a heated skillet, over medium heat, add a teaspoon or two of the olive oil and the remaining onion. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
4. Add the Jackfruit pulled pork. Cook and stir until fully heated and a little browned.
5. Heat the tortillas: Warm a cast iron skillet over low heat. Once the skillet is hot you can add a tortilla, flipping frequently to prevent burning. Note: Almond flour tortillas burn more easily than traditional tortillas. Once the tortilla has been warmed evenly on both sides, place it on a plate and cover with a towel. Continue until you have warmed all of the tortillas.
6. Assemble the tacos: Place a tortilla on a plate. Add some of the Jackfruit pulled pork, a little cabbage slaw, a few slices of avocado, a pinch of marinated red onions and cilantro or parsley. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve topped with lime wedges. Enjoy!
