Jackfruit and Mango Tacos

If you're looking for a vegan taco filling that will satisfy even the most ardent meat-eaters, look no further than this recipe for jackfruit and mango tacos. The jackfruit provides a meaty texture, while the mango adds a sweet and tangy flavor. The tacos are finished off with a simple slaw made with red onion, cilantro, and lime juice.

The jackfruit is a tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its large size and its unique flavor, which has been described as a cross between pineapple and banana. Jackfruit is a versatile fruit that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. In this recipe, we use young green jackfruit, which has a more neutral flavor than ripe jackfruit. The jackfruit is boiled until tender and then shredded, giving it a texture similar to pulled pork.
