How to Prepare Mexican Pulled Jackfruit Tacos [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Pickled Onions:
- Add all the ingredients apart from the onion to a pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the onion and quickly boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat. Once the onion has cooled slightly, transfer to a glass bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
To Make the Tacos:
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly. Using two forks, shred the jackfruit so the stringy bits come away from the tougher core. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until translucent, around 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and continue to cook for around 1-2 minutes, making sure not to let the garlic burn.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except for the lime juice. Bring everything up to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cover, cooking for 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened, around 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice.
- Serve the pulled jackfruit with warm tortillas, guacamole, pickled onion, coriander, and salsa.
