Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups jackfruit, chopped
- 1 package Simply Organic® Southwest Taco Simmer Sauce
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 avocado, sliced, for topping
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced, for topping
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped, for topping
- Juice of 1 lime wedge, for topping
- Simply Organic® Smoked Paprika or hot sauce, for topping (optional)
Directions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until the onions have softened and are beginning to brown.
- Add jackfruit and simmer sauce. Stir until well blended. Cover the pan, reduce heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the jackfruit softens a bit.
- Use a potato masher to mash the jackfruit until a shredded texture is achieved. If it's wetter than desired, cook it a little longer. If it's drier than desired, add a splash of water.
- Warm tortillas in foil. Add a scoop of the jackfruit to each tortilla, then top with avocado, onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. For additional spice, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of hot sauce.
