Vegan Pulled Jackfruit Taquitos

  • Prep | 5 m

  • Cook | 10 m

  • Ready in | 15 m

  • Makes | 12-14 taquitos

Ingredients

  • 12-14 corn tortillas

  • olive oil

  • 14 oz cooked and seasoned jackfruit (buy frozen or look up "pulled jackfruit" recipes)

  • vegetable oil for frying

  • Suggested toppings: chipotle mayo, cilantro, diced red onion, sour cream, sliced avocado, vegan Mexican cotija cheese

Directions

  1. Heat the corn tortillas on a nonstick skillet with a very small amount of olive oil until warm and bendable. Set aside.

  2. Add approximately 2 tsp jackfruit to each corn tortilla (it will look like very little), tightly roll, and place seam-side down on a plate. Stick a toothpick through the middle of the taquito, making sure that it secures the very edge of the tortilla. Set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a deep skillet so that it's fully covered (approximately 1/4 inch deep). Place taquitos in the skillet (toothpick in) and fry. Rotate the taquito until all sides are golden brown. Remove from heat and place on a plate with a paper towel to drain the excess oil.

  4. Let cool for a few minutes and then top with any additional toppings. Enjoy!
