- 1/2 cup vegan Worcestershire sauce, Low-Sodium Soy Sauce or Liquid Amino’s
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste

- 3 guijillo chiles
- 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo
- 1 whole large yellow onion
- 1 large vine tomato
- 5 cloves garlic – whole
- 1/4 cup white vinegar can sub for apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp liquid smoke; or smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp Mexican Oregano
- 1 tsp comino seeds
- I whole yellow onion – diced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 cloves garlic – whole
- 1 quart Chicken-less Chicken Stock or Vegetable broth see subs above
- hefty pinch of salt
- 4 inch corn tortillas as needed
- 1 medium yellow onion – chopped
- 1 bunch cilantro – chopped
- vegan mozzarella shreds of choice
Instructions
- Take your jackfruit out of the brine and wash thoroughly ( I was my jackfruit twice over). Drain the jackfruit by squeezing with all of your muscle power, dry on a cloth, and set aside.
- Add Worcestershire, salt and pepper mix and set aside until read for use.
- Marinade
- Begin by deseeding your Guajillo peppers, ensure there is no seed left unturned!
- Add to a boiling pot of water – boil for 5 minutes on high heat and set aside to soak in the water for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add a tbsp of oil to a medium-sized pan and set to medium-high heat. Add your onion, garlic cloves, and tomato. Cook until you see a nice char (about 2-5 minutes if your pan is hot enough).
- After your peppers have soaked 15 minutes, add Guajillo peppers, 1 cup of pepper water, charred onion, tomato, garlic, and the rest of the marinade ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Taking a small strainer, drain the sauce on top of the jackfruit. Discard any leftover pulp, cover the jackfruit and set in the fridge for a minimum of two hours.
- Now is a good time to clean up your space!
- For the stew, after your jackfruit is marinaded, add two tbsp of oil to the bottom of a large pot – add your chopped onion and cook until translucent ( 6-8 minutes on a low-medium heat).
- Next, add your marinaded jack fruit and the rest of your stew ingredients and let cook for a minimum of 2 hours. If you have a pressure cooker, cook for 45 minutes.
- Once your stew is complete, its time to make your tacos! Dip your corn shell into the broth and add to a pan along with 1 tsp of oil.
- Immediately add cheese and jackfruit from your stew. Flip once your shell is nice and crispy.
- Serve with cilantro, lime, onion and broth from the stew for dipping!
