Vegan Tacos With Jackfruit - gluten-free
Vegan Tacos mit Jackfruit is my proposal for today, all in line with the warm weather. This truly versatile Asian fruit is an ideal and all-natural meat substitute. Together with the delicious tortillas, these vegan and gluten-free Tacos are a great, uncomplicated dish for a sociable round.
Equipment
- 1 or 2 frying pans, knife and cutting board, several small bowls
Ingredients
Für die Jackfruit Füllung
- 1 can of young jackfruit drained weight 225 g
- 2 small spring onions 150 g, in feine Ringe geschnitten
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 glas corn Abtropfgewicht 230 g
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 tsp cumin seeds im Mörser zerstossen
- ½ tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- tsp Optional: ¼ tsp Chili powder
Additionally
- 12 corn tortillas
- ¼ head lettuce or Battavia salad
- optional: ½ bunch of fresh coriander
- optional: 1 portion of home-made Guacamole
- optional: 1 small glass pickeled Jalapenos
Instructions
- Put the jackfruit into a fine-meshed sieve and rinse under running water, squeeze it out with your hands and pull it apart. Cut the spring onions into fine rings.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the jackfruit and fry for 5 minutes, turning the jackfruit over and over again.
- Add corn, spring onions, tomato paste and tamari and fry for 5 minutes. Keep moving constantly.
- Add the spices and roast for 1 minute.
- Keep the jackfruit filling warm on a low heat. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients for the tacos and place them on the table. Finely chop the lettuce. Finely dice the tomato and, if you like, prepare a home-made guacamole (made from avocado, a little lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin powder and garlic). Optionally provide jalapenos and fresh coriander.
- Heat one corn tortilla at a time in a frying pan. Turn after about 30 seconds and wait until the tortilla is warm and puffs up a little. Proceed in the same way with all corn tortillas and keep them warm in a covered basket.
- Once all is ready on your table, everyone can put together their own taco. A truly social and all relaxed meal. ☺ Bon appetite!
Notes
Instead of corn tortillas, you can also use other tortillas (be aware they might not be gluten-free) or corn taco shells.
