Jackfruit carnitas tacos.

I loved how these turned out. First thing I did was marinate young unripe jackfruit (drained and rinsed first) in spices, fresh onion slices and a little orange juice. Pineapple would have been better but I didn’t have any. For spices I used a mixture of cumin, chipotle chili, New Mexico chili, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. 

After marinating for an hour, I pan fried them in oil on medium high heat. I let them brown then shredded them up with a fork and then continued to pan fry until browned, crisp and fairly dry.

I topped the tacos with cabbage slaw, salsa, crema (which was basically vegan ranch spiked with lime), hot sauce. 

So good!
