Ingredients

  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1 14 oz can jackfruit
  • juice of ½ lime
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • ½ tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire
  • 2-3 small potatoes peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 2-3 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • First, prepare the jackfruit. Drain the brine from the can and rinse well.
  • Add the jackfruit to your Crockpot, and mix with the lime juice, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, and all the spices.
  • Cover, and cook on low 4hrs/high 2hrs until the jackfruit is tender and has soaked up the marinade mix.
  • Meanwhile, place the potato pieces in a small pot and cover with water. Boil for 10-15 minutes until soft and easily mashed with a fork.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl, and mash the potatoes with the nondairy milk. Mix in the jackfruit mixture, and add more seasoning as needed.
  • Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a moist towel, and microwave for 5-10 seconds until warm and pliable. If you have time, I actually prefer toasting the tortillas in a dry, ungreased skillet for about 20-30 seconds on each side until lightly charred and flexible.
  • Spoon some filling in the center of each taquito, then fold in half and roll tightly. Repeat with all 12.
  • Place the taquitos on the prepared baking sheet, brush with oil, sprinkle on a little bit of salt, and bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Enjoy warm with salsa and guacamole for dipping!
