Flavorful Vegan Jackfruit Tinga Tacos

This Vegan Jackfruit Tinga Tacos recipe features jackfruit cooked in a rich, spicy sauce made from tomatoes, onions, and chipotle peppers. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans young green jackfruit in water or brine, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jackfruit: Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Remove any seeds and shred the jackfruit pieces with your hands or a fork.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Cook the Jackfruit: Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet along with the diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the flavors and become tender.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: While the jackfruit is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the jackfruit mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm with additional lime wedges on the side.
