Method

  • Make jackfruit "pulled pork": Add drained, rinsed, and shredded jackfruit to a large bowl with the lime zest, lime juice, chipotle puree, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix to coat the jackfruit completely. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add jackfruit and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Make the simple guac: Add avocado flesh to a medium bowl, mash up slightly using a fork. Add lime juice, minced shallots, and minced cilantro to the bowl then stir to combine. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
  • Make the lemon orange crema: Add sour cream, lemon zest, orange juice, and sea salt to a small bowl. Whisk with a fork until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Prep and plate your tacos: Warm corn tortillas in the oven preheated to 350F for a couple minutes. Top with tortilla with a spoonful of chipotle jackfruit, a dollop of guac, a drizzle of lemon orange cream, and a sprinkle of minced cilantro. Devour amigos. I mean devour, amigos. Don't devour your amigos :)
