Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse jackfruit. Lightly pat dry and cut or pull of the cores so you’re only left with the outer parts that are easy to shred. Shred all the outer pieces and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 and line baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat cook onion for about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper if desired and cook for additional 1 minute.
  4. Add in jackfruit and sauce for 2 minutes.
  5. Mix in the chili powder, oregano, bay leaves, orange juice, lime juice, and vegetable broth. Stir and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat and let simmer gently, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Stir often as the liquid continues to reduce.
  6. Once all liquid has evaporated, remove bay leaves and place jackfruit onto prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  8. Enjoy your taco bowl with the remaining ingredients and toppings!
