Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the jackfruit, then shred it using two forks until it resembles pulled pork.

  4. In a bowl, mix shredded red cabbage, diced mango, cilantro, and lime juice until well combined.

  6. Assemble tacos by spooning the smoky jackfruit mixture onto each tortilla and topping with mango slaw and optional avocado slices.
