Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos

These Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos taste amazing, they will be a hit when you serve them. They are full of flavor and they are vegan and gluten-free! I bought two cans of green jackfruit and I wanted to make a quick and easy recipe because I had less than an hour to leave for an appointment. I decided to make tacos because my family loves tacos whenever I prepare them. I keep a lot of La Tortilla Gluten-Free Wraps on hand so we can always make quick and easy wraps. I also used these gluten-free wraps to prepare my amazing Black Bean Burritos and my Curried Tofu Wraps. Fresh green jackfruit can be purchased from a local Asian or Latino Supermarket, you can find instructions HERE on how to prepare the jackfruit from scratch but I bought the ones in the can. Make sure you get the green jackfruit in brine and not the ripe jackfruit in syrup, the texture and taste are very different. To prepare these flavorful Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos, I first browned the jackfruit in my non-stick pan (you can skip this step if you don't really care about it looking brown), then I made a sauce using onion, garlic, tomato paste, orange and lime juice, oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and liquid smoke for smoky flavor and I used coconut sugar sweetened and to give a deep caramel color and flavor! The result was amazing, my family loved it and kept asking for more!
