INSTRUCTIONS
-
Drain and rinse the jackfruit from the can. Rinse very well if your jackfruit was packed in brine. Chop off the hard center core portions, if desired. I like the texture better with the tougher parts removed.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Now add the jackfruit and 1/2 cup of water, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes to soften the jackfruit.
-
While the jackfruit simmers, make the wet spice mix by stirring all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F at this time and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
After 10 minutes, remove the lid and mash the jackfruit with a potato masher or two forks, to create a shredded texture. Add the wet spice mix and stir into mashed jackfruit, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
-
Now add in the orange juice, lime juice and liquid smoke and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
-
Spread the jackfruit onto the prepared pan, evenly, and bake for 15-25 minutes, until it's golden, crispy and even a bit blackened in some spots.
- Combine all guacamole ingredients and mash together.
-
Remove from the oven and heat individual tortillas on a dry pan until slightly browned, pliable, and fully heated.
- Add carnitas to tortillas, top with guacamole, lime juice, onion and jalapeno slices.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
