Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Shred the jackfruit using two forks, removing any tough core pieces.
In a large skillet, combine the shredded jackfruit, all BBQ Sauce ingredients, and Taco Seasoning.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and has absorbed the sauce.
Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the BBQ pulled jackfruit and your desired toppings.
