Chipotle Mango Jackfruit Tacos

These tacos are a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of Mexico. The jackfruit is a great substitute for meat, and the mango adds a sweet and tangy flavor. The chipotle powder gives the tacos a smoky flavor, and the cilantro and lime juice add a fresh and zesty flavor. These tacos are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I first had these tacos at a food truck in Los Angeles. I was immediately hooked on the flavor combination of the jackfruit, mango, and chipotle powder. I knew I had to recreate them at home. After a few tries, I finally perfected my recipe. I hope you enjoy these tacos as much as I do!

Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) can of jackfruit, rinsed and shredded
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (15 ounce) can of diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
• 1 mango, diced

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, jalapeño, and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened.

4. Add the diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and chipotle powder to the skillet and simmer for 15 minutes.

Why It Works

• The jackfruit is a great substitute for meat. It has a similar texture to meat, and it absorbs the flavors of the marinade well.
• The mango adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the tacos. It pairs well with the smoky flavor of the chipotle powder.
• The chipotle powder gives the tacos a smoky flavor. It adds a bit of heat to the tacos, but it is not overpowering.
• The cilantro and lime juice add a fresh and zesty flavor to the tacos. They balance out the sweetness of the mango and the smokiness of the chipotle powder.
