When it’s ripe, jackfruit has a rich tropical flavour that’s like a cross between pineapple and banana. Unripe fruit is firmer and less sweet and makes a popular vegan meat substitute. These tacos call for convenient canned jackfruit in brine, available at many larger supermarkets.

Instructions
1
To prepare jackfruit, cutting with grain, thinly slice pieces, then shred with your fingers. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in jackfruit, tomato paste, and water. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until jackfruit is very soft, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir together beans, ancho chile powder, remaining 1 teaspoon oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in small microwavable bowl. Cover with paper towel and microwave on High until very hot, 1–2 minutes, stirring beans every 30 seconds. Keep warm.

Stir together mayonnaise, lime juice, and sriracha in cup. Fill tortillas with jackfruit and top evenly with beans, avocado, and cabbage. Drizzle each with about 1 teaspoon sriracha mayonnaise and top each with a few cilantro leaves.
