Yields: 12 Tacos

Prepare the jackfruit by cutting off the hard center portions and popping out any of the seeds from the flesh. Now, begin heating the EVOO in a medium sized pot set to just about medium heat. Once heated, add the onions and a good pinch of se salt / pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add the jackfruit along with the chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and another good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for another 4 or so minutes before pouring in the BBQ sauce & plant-based broth. Once this comes to a little boil, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 20 – 25 minutes. Remove cover and continue to simmer for 5ish more minutes until sauce has reduced and jackfruit is tender. Use a fork to shred up any large pieces of jackfruit. Taste and adjust salt if desired.

While the jackfruit cooks, empty the contents of the baked beans into a small pot set to medium low. Cover and simmer until assembly.

For the slaw, add the mayo, lime juice & zest, and white wine vinegar to a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the shredded coleslaw mix and toss. Sprinkle in desired amount of Tajin spice and sea salt to taste. Refrigerate until assembly.

Heat up the tortillas by wrapping them in paper towels and microwaving them until malleable or preheat the oven and wrap them in foil for a few minutes.

For service, drop a heaping Tbsp. of the BBQ jackfruit onto the taco followed by a scoop of the baked beans. Sprinkle over some of the shredded cheddar, a drizzle of sour cream / prepared crema, and top with the crispy slaw and green onions. ENJOY!
