Ingredients
- ½ cup finely shredded green cabbage
- ¼ cup finely shredded red cabbage
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mango
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ medium lime, juiced
- 1 (14 ounce) can green jackfruit in brine, drained
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- ¼ teaspoon taco seasoning, or to taste
- 3 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste (Optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- Prepare tacos: Gently pull jackfruit flesh apart as you would for pulled pork or chicken, discarding any seeds or pods.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, heat another cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add tortillas and heat for 15 to 30 seconds per side.
- Put jackfruit mixture in the middle of each tortilla and top with slaw and cilantro.
