Ingredients
  

2 cups canned young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed

1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

12 small corn tortillas (or mini taco boats)

1 cup shredded vegan cheese (or regular cheese if not vegan)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup diced red onions

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

1 avocado, diced (for topping)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Jackfruit: Start by tearing the drained and rinsed jackfruit into smaller, shred-like pieces using your hands or a fork. Be sure to discard any hard seeds or tough core pieces to ensure a pleasant texture.

    Cook the Jackfruit: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the jackfruit is slightly browned and heated through.

      Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the jackfruit is evenly coated with the seasonings, enhancing its flavor profile.

        Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the BBQ sauce into the skillet with the seasoned jackfruit. Stir to combine thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld beautifully.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the jackfruit is simmering, heat another skillet or use the microwave to warm your corn tortillas until they are soft and pliable. If you are using mini taco boats, this step can be skipped.

            Assemble the Nacho Boats: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the tortillas (or taco boats) on a baking sheet. Spoon generous portions of the BBQ jackfruit mixture onto each tortilla and top them with shredded vegan cheese.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are crispy and golden.

                Garnish: Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the nacho boats from the oven. Top them with diced tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños (if using), and fresh cilantro, followed by a sprinkle of diced avocado for creamy richness.

                  Serve: Serve these delightful nacho boats warm, accompanied by lime wedges for an added zing of citrus when squeezed over the top. Enjoy your Mini BBQ Jackfruit Nacho Boats!
