Yum!! I love vegetarian tacos, and this jackfruit works so well. It takes on the spice mix beautifully, and the suggested toppings really pull it all together.

Jackfruit is a fruit grown in SE Asia. When ripe, they are sweet, so for savory recipes use young, green jackfruit in a can, in a brine, NOT a syrup.
When young it has a neutral and slightly savory flavor that picks up all the flavors of a dish, and the texture shreds just like meat.
You can find it at Asian supermarkets, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Thrive Market, or Amazon.
Some more common grocery stores carry it, too.
Trader Joe's by far has the best value that I've found!
