Ingredients

• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 (14 ounce) can green jackfruit in brine, drained
• 3 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
• 0.5 medium lime, juiced
• 0.25 teaspoon taco seasoning, or to taste
• 1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup finely shredded green cabbage
• 0.25 cup finely shredded red cabbage

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine green and red cabbage, mango, carrot, jalapeño, mayonnaise, and lime juice for slaw in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are coated with mayonnaise; set aside.

Step 2

Prepare tacos: Gently pull jackfruit flesh apart as you would for pulled pork or chicken, discarding any seeds or pods.

Step 3

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shredded jackfruit and taco seasoning; cook and stir until heated through and blended with seasoning, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat another cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add tortillas and heat for 15 to 30 seconds per side.

Step 5

Put jackfruit mixture in the middle of each tortilla and top with slaw and cilantro.
