Jackfruit Carnitas
Directions
- Combine coleslaw ingredients in a large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Combine mayonnaise and Sriracha together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat jackfruit in a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat, until it is heated throughout, about 8 minutes (add a tsp or two of sugar if you prefer it sweeter).
- Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas one by one either over an open flame of a gas oven, using tongs until they are toasty with a few darkened spots (15–30 seconds), or in a very hot cast iron pan (with no oil) on each side until slightly darkened (15–30 seconds). Keep warm in a folded clean dish towel or napkin until ready to serve.
- To assemble the tacos, take a tortilla, add a small amount (2–3 tbsp) of the heated jackfruit, top with coleslaw, red onion, avocados, and a drizzle of Sriracha Mayo. Add jalapeño peppers and a squeeze of fresh lime if desired
