Jackfruit seems to be all the rage at the moment, and after trying it I can understand why. It’s great in Tacos, as a vegan replacement for Chicken. Using Pulled Spicy Jackfruit as a base, and loading up with spicy beans, vegan cheese, cucumber salsa, shredded lettuce makes a great dinner.
Pulled Spicy Jackfruit is easy to do, and you can increase the spice with a bit of Tabasco sauce if you want a bit of heat.
