JACKFRUIT TACOS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook onions in 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are tender, 8-10 minutes. , Meanwhile, in a blender, process chipotle peppers and next 6 ingredients with 4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add jackfruit and sauce to onion mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce darkens in color and starts to caramelize onto jackfruit, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in pumpkin seeds and nutritional yeast. Cook 10 minutes. Serve jackfruit mixture in tortillas; add toppings as desired.

VEGAN CHILI-LIME JACKFRUIT TACOS

Steps:

• Mix jackfruit with garlic, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a large bowl, using your hands to shred the jackfruit while mixing until it has a pulled pork consistency.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallot and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add seasoned jackfruit and let cook together, 4 to 5 minutes; it's okay if the jackfruit starts sticking to the pan. Pour in water and stir, making sure you get any yummy pieces that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Add orange juice, lime juice, chipotle pepper, maple syrup, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper; mix together well. Let simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking down the jackfruit more if necessary, for 25 minutes. Drain if there is an excess of liquid during the cooking process; you want all of the liquid cooked down. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
• Serve on warm corn tortillas.
