With jackfruit we have found the perfect natural meat substitute. This fruit has a meaty texture and resembles the meat you use in pulled pork or pulled chicken. In addition, the stringy fruit has the advantage that you can perfectly give it its own flavor, without it having a very distinct taste itself. So perfect for these Jackfruit Tacos!

Ingredients

1 onion chopped

3 cloves of garlic chopped

75-100 ml vegetable broth or water

1 lemon squeezed (lemon juice)

2 avocados: ready to eat and sliced

1 red pepper without seeds and finely chopped

pepper and salt

2 tbsp cream fraîche

Preparation method for Jackfruit Tacos

Wash the jack fruit well using a colander and cut the jack fruit into strips. Cut up from the somewhat harder core. You can just eat the hard pieces.
Heat a little oil in a large skillet or wok on medium heat. Fry the onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves briefly.
Then add the jackfruit pieces, broth, brown sugar, 0.5 lemon juice (the rest you need for the guacamole) and all the herbs and stir it well. Put the lid on the pan and let it simmer over a low heat for about 5-7 minutes.
With the help of a potato masher you can then further grind the jack fruit, so that you get that nice 'pulled pork' structure. You can also try to pull the pieces apart with 2 forks. See for yourself if the texture is satisfactory. If it is still a bit too dry, simply add some broth or water. If it is still a bit too wet, then let it reduce for a little longer.
Taste in between whether the jack fruit is to your taste and add some extra herbs if necessary. If the taste is good, let it caramelize for a further 2 minutes on high heat.
The guacamole is made as follows. Add 1 avocado (in strips), 1 clove of finely chopped garlic, red pepper, a little lemon juice and some pepper and salt to a mortar or food processor and grind until smooth. Once this is done, add 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche and mix it well again. Taste for yourself if it is nice to taste.
Serve your pulled jack fruit on a hard or soft taco shell on a bed of mixed salad and top it off with a good spoon of guacamole and some strips of avocado.
