I’m sure that if you are an avid Pinterest junkie you would have heard about the seemingly magical fake chicken made out of Young Jackfruit by now. Guess who’s late on the trend? Yours truly, as always. I’m such a rebel. Today’s recipe (if you haven’t already read the damn title – ha) is for Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Tacos… With a side of homemade Guacamole and Pico De Gallo. Winner.

Now, let’s cut the bullsh*t. I’m sick of blogs that rave on about how Young Jackfruit tastes “JUST LIKE MEAT OMG OMG OMG MIND BLOWN”. Please get phucked. Young Jackfruit, once cooked down, does get stringy in texture, very similar to pulled pork or chicken. I’ll give you that. It tastes pretty damn delicious as well. But no, it doesn’t really taste like meat. It just tastes like fu*king delicious food that you should make and shove into your belly.

These Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Tacos are easy as pie to make. First off, I cook my Young Jackfruit with a fair bit of Onions, Taco Seasoning and Vegan BBQ Sauce. Then come the sides that are made in literally 5 minutes. We have a quick Guacamole (Avocado, Red Onion, Lime, Cilantro) and a zesty Pico de Gallo (Tomato, Red Onion, Cilantro, Lime, Salt and a little untraditional addition of Cucumber because I can). Hey Presto! You now have Tacos!

Who says Vegan Tacos have to taste sad and weak? They really don’t. If you’re keen on a little Mexican that doesn’t taste like utter fast food crap, have a go at my Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Tacos. You won’t regret it! (And a moment of silence for the poor Baby Jackfruit that sacrificed his life for this tasty delight). Ciao.
