Hey everyone!

Looking for a fun and flavorful way to incorporate plant-based protein into your meals? Look no further than Korean BBQ Jackfruit Tacos! They're an explosion of Korean-inspired flavors wrapped up in a delicious corn tortilla, and trust me, they're seriously addictive!

Jackfruit, when seasoned and cooked properly, takes on a meaty texture that's perfect for replacing meat in tacos. Here, we marinate it in a sweet and savory Korean BBQ sauce, then pan-fry it until crispy. It's seriously delicious, and even meat-eaters will be impressed.

Plus, this recipe is incredibly easy to whip up at home. It's perfect for a quick and flavorful weeknight meal or a fun get-together with friends.

Here's what you'll need:

For the Korean BBQ Jackfruit:

• 1 (14.5 oz) can young jackfruit, packed in water, rinsed and shredded
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste) - adjust to your spice preference
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Tacos:

• Corn tortillas, warmed
• Shredded red cabbage (optional)
• Sliced green onions
• Chopped fresh cilantro
• Lime wedges
• Gochujang mayo (optional - store-bought or make your own by mixing mayonnaise with gochujang to taste)

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large bowl, combine the jackfruit, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochujang, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Toss to coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the jackfruit mixture and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the jackfruit is browned and crispy.
3. Warm your corn tortillas according to package instructions.
4. To assemble the tacos, place some jackfruit in each tortilla. Top with desired toppings like shredded red cabbage, green onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and gochujang mayo (if using).

Serve immediately and enjoy!
