Jackfruit Tacos with Smoky Chipotle Sauce
Jackfruit is famous for its meaty texture, and these tacos show exactly why. Slow-cooked with smoky chipotle, garlic, and spices, the jackfruit takes on a pulled-pork style flavour that makes every taco bite bold and satisfying.
The toppings are what make tacos shine – think crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, and fresh salsa all layered into soft tortillas. It is a dish that feels like a feast but is easy enough to make on a weeknight.
Storage & Leftovers
Jackfruit filling keeps for 3–4 days in the fridge. Reheat before serving.
Ingredient Swaps & Variations
– Use BBQ sauce instead of chipotle for a different flavour.
– Add beans or corn to the filling for extra bulk.
– Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps for a lighter version.
Serving Suggestions
Top with avocado, coriander, and lime wedges.
Mini FAQ
