BBQ Jackfruit Tacos with Vegan Slaw

Young green jackfruit has a stringy texture that shreds a lot like pulled pork once it's simmered in BBQ sauce, which makes it a favorite stand-in for anyone building a meat-free taco night.

Paired with a crunchy cabbage slaw made with vegan mayonnaise, this whole plate stays vegetarian-friendly without losing the smoky-tangy flavor a barbecue taco is supposed to have. Cooking the jackfruit down for ten to twelve minutes lets it soak up the sauce and get slightly caramelized at the edges, rather than just warmed through. Pile it into warm taco shells and top generously with slaw right before eating so it stays crisp.
