Ingredients:

For the Jackfruit:

1 (14.5 oz) can young jackfruit, packed in water, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon avocado oil

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sriracha

1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Kimchi Slaw:

2 cups shredded green cabbage

1 cup chopped kimchi

1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

For the Tacos:

8 corn tortillas

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Gochujang Mayo (recipe below)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Gochujang Mayo:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon gochujang

1 tablespoon sriracha

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine jackfruit, avocado oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, gochujang, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Toss to coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Scrape the jackfruit and marinade into the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the jackfruit is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, kimchi, scallions, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Toss to coat.

Warm tortillas according to package instructions. Divide jackfruit mixture evenly among tortillas. Top each taco with kimchi slaw, cilantro, and a drizzle of gochujang mayo. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Gochujang Mayo:

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth.

Tips:

For a vegan option, use vegan mayo in the gochujang mayo.

You can adjust the amount of sriracha and gochujang to your desired level of spiciness.

Enjoy your delicious and flavorful Korean BBQ Jackfruit Tacos!
