Jackfruit Barbacoa Burrito Bowls Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by preparing the jackfruit. Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit, then shred it using a fork or your hands.
• STEP 2.In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit and cook for a few minutes until it starts to brown.
• STEP 3.Next, add the barbacoa sauce to the skillet and stir well to coat the jackfruit. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the jackfruit is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use young green jackfruit in brine or water, not ripe jackfruit in syrup.
• If you prefer a spicier barbacoa, add some chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the sauce.
• For extra flavor, marinate the jackfruit in the barbacoa sauce for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover jackfruit barbacoa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To serve, assemble the burrito bowls by layering cooked rice, black beans, jackfruit barbacoa, and your favorite toppings.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
