Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. jackfruit flesh (fruit pods) or 1 can of jackfruit, drained
- 1 medium size onion, sliced
- 1 cup of dry guajillo peppers sauce
- Tortillas
- Olive oil, enough to fry the onion
Toppings:
- Onions (chopped and pickled using lime juice and a pinch of salt)
- Fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves, finely chopped
- Lime juice
Preparation:
If you buy fresh jackfruit, remove the skin, rags, seeds and core. Keep only the pods.
In a non-stick skillet fry the onion with some olive oil at medium heat until caramelized. Add the jackfruit, dry guajillo pepper sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
Cover with lid. Bring to simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove lid and let cook until the sauce dries.
Assemble tacos with jackfruit and your favourite toppings.
