Directions

For the pico de gallo

Mix all ingredients and let sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to enhance.

Preparing the Jackfruit

Boil jackfruit in a large pot of water for 10 minutes. Strain and shred with a fork.
Heat olive oil on a griddle or large frying pan at medium-high heat. Add shredded jackfruit, and F&S TACO Seasoning to taste.
Sauté until the jackfruit is cooked throughout, about 5 minutes or until slightly golden. Sauté longer if you want a crispier texture on your jackfruit.

Assembly

Heat tortillas in a pan or briefly over a gas burner.
Build your tacos: tortilla, jackfruit, pico de gallo and optional toppings of your choice.
Serve immediately.
