Chili Lime Jackfruit Tacos

7/3/18

If there’s one nice thing I learned lately, it’s Mylk Guys Market. I don’t even have to drive since they deliver my order right on my front door. So when Mylk Guys came in with a big box of all my favorite goodies, I was really. really. really. excited. This meant dinner will be superb.

And you should be friends with these folks because Mylk Guys Market is…

  • One-stop shop. No more spending hours doing groceries.
  • Online plant-based groceries. I know!
  • Same as in-store prices. No hidden surprises, yo!
  • Delivered to your door around San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. How exciting!

When Frederick and I decided to eat healthy-ish for at least once a day, I was having hard times considering healthy. Is Meatless Monday enough for us? What about pescatarian? What about diet? Luckily, I found my awesome friends from Mylk Guys and their mission really changes our lives.

Speaking of awesome. Check out this big pile of chili lime carnitas topped with your favorite toppings. Yes, I’m talking cilantro, onion, salsa, avocado. Any kinds you like. But first, this carnitas is not actually meat. It is jackfruit. You might scratch your head now, thinking what the heck is that.

WHAT IS JACKFRUIT?

Native to Asia, Jackfruit is known for its spiky exterior and notable for its stages of maturity, each of which yields a different texture and flavor. however jackfruit has a consistency similar to shredded meat. It’s a popular fruit in Asia. When I grew up, we often had this for dessert or in a savory dish.

To start, see all these goodness? I use Upton’s Naturals Chili Lime Carnitas Jackfruit. It’s a good source of fiber and completely vegan. Then I like adding a combination of roasted corn, jalapeno, cilantro, and avocado. But you can adjust that and add shredded red cabbage, carrots, and so much more. The possibilities are endless. Really.

You are set. #TacoTuesday as its finest.

    I have just eaten jackfruit as a fruit, but I’m so interested in how it will taste like as ‘shredded meat’ in tacos! This looks really good

    I LOVE tacos, but have never tried jackfruit. I don’t even think I can find it here. I will look for it next time I head into St. Lawrence Market. This recipe sounds very intriguing. I am all about experimenting with new ingredients.

    I have been wanting to try jackfruit for ages, but haven’t been able to find it here in Italy. It sounds so good, especially in this tacos recipe.

    Jackfruit is used a lot as savory when green in South Asian cuisine – I had it the first time at a Sri Lankan Restaurant and the jackfruit curry was delicious Funny I like it this way but not so much when it is ripe as the fruit. Anyway glad you enjoyed the jackfruit
