Vegan BBQ: Grilled Jackfruit Chilorio Tacos with Homemade Tortillas

Cooking Vegan on the BBQ: Grilled Jackfruit Chilorio Tacos with Homemade Tortillas Full disclosure: I hate jackfruit! Seriously. I’d had it a couple of times, once in a reuben sandwich at a restaurant, and another time I tried to make jackfruit carnitas according to a recipe I found on YouTube. In both instances, I was beyond disappointed. The texture was mushy, and as Ben famously described it, "it feels like cooked pineapple”. So, for the last year or so, whenever I would see jackfruit on a menu, I would avoid it. Even if the rest of the dish sounded good, the word jackfruit would immediately turn me off. I was convinced that it was a crap meat substitute. Period. Done. That was until I made these tacos! This recipe is easy to make, uses readily available ingredients (except the jackfruit?), and can easily be made on the grill outside, or on the stovetop and in the oven inside. Because I’m going plastic-free for this month, I took an extra step, and made my own tortillas. They definitely add a freshness to the dish, but in the words of Ina Garten, “Store bought is fine”. These tacos are so incredible and balanced. They are spicy, and bright, and creamy, and you have a variety of the textures from the corn tortilla, to the pickled red onions and spicy radishes, to the fresh cabbage slaw. These are satisfying on so many levels. Make these. You won’t regret it. Especially if you’re like me, and you thought you hated jackfruit. Give them a shot, and then let me know what you thought! 🌱 FOR THE FULL RECIPE FROM THIS VIDEO: https://monsonmadethis.com/vegan-bbq-jackfruit-chilorio-tacos/ 💵 JOIN MY PATREON TO WATCH “MONSON ATE THIS”: https://www.patreon.com/monsonmadethis 💵 TO SUPPORT MY CHANNEL VIA PAYPAL: https://www.paypal.me/monsonmadethis 🛒 LOOKING FOR THE PRODUCTS AND GADGETS THAT I USE?
