These smoky jackfruit tacos are a fantastic way to enjoy a plant-based version of a classic Mexican street food favourite. The young green jackfruit has a unique, fibrous texture that mimics pulled pork beautifully, especially when simmered in a savoury blend of smoked paprika, cumin and a hint of chilli. It is a quick and versatile vegan dish that brings a vibrant burst of flavour to any weeknight dinner or social gathering.
Perfect for a healthy homemade meal, this recipe encourages a relaxed, build-your-own dining style. Served in crunchy shells with creamy guacamole and zesty lime wedges, these tacos offer a wonderful balance of textures and temperatures. It is an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their meat intake without sacrificing the satisfying, bold flavours of a traditional taco night.

How to make Jackfruit Tacos
Tillbaka till innehållTip the jackfruit into a sieve or colander to drain the excess water and pat the pieces down with a clean kitchen towel to dry them off | Cut into 1/4-inch strips and put to one side
Peel and slice the onion and garlic very thinly | Warm the vegetable oil in the frying pan | Add the onion and garlic to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon until soft and translucent | Add the jackfruit, maple syrup, vegetable stock, and Tabasco sauce | Cut 1 of the limes in half and squeeze in the juice of one half, catching any seeds in your other hand | Stir until the jackfruit is well covered
Put the lid on the pan, turn down the heat, and let it simmer for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed into the jackfruit | Take the lid off the pan and sprinkle in all the spices and the salt | Stir until the jackfruit pieces are well covered and taking on the colour of the spices | Transfer the jackfruit pieces to a serving dish
Slice the remaining limes into wedges and remove the leaves from the coriander by running your thumb and forefinger from the top to the base of the stems (the leaves should easily come away), saving the stems for another recipe | Serve the taco shells, jackfruit, guacamole, salsa, lime wedges, and coriander leaves on individual plates and let everyone build their own tacos
