Description

Skip the meat! These vegan taquitos are packed with seasoned jackfruit and potatoes. Serve with your favorite guacamole.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1 lbs (397 g) can jackfruit
  • 0.5 lime juice
  • 0.25 cups (59 ml) chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 0.5 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire
  • 1 cups (237 ml) small potatoes
  • 0.25 cups (59 ml) unsweetened cashew milk
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jackfruit: Drain the brine from the can and rinse well.
  2. Add the jackfruit to a Crockpot, and mix with the lime juice, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and all the spices.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, until the jackfruit is tender and has soaked up the marinade.
  4. Place the potato pieces in a small pot and cover with water. Boil for 10-15 minutes until soft and easily mashed with a fork.
  5. Transfer to a medium bowl and mash the potatoes with the cashew milk. Mix in the jackfruit mixture and add more seasoning as needed.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  7. Wrap the tortillas in a moist towel and microwave for 5-10 seconds until warm and pliable. Alternatively, toast the tortillas in a dry, ungreased skillet for 20-30 seconds per side until lightly charred and flexible.
  8. Spoon some filling into the center of each tortilla, fold in half, and roll tightly. Repeat with all 12 tortillas.
  9. Place the taquitos on the prepared baking sheet, brush with oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sauté the onions and garlic before adding them to the jackfruit.
  • If you don’t have cashew milk, use another plant-based milk or even water.
  • Reheat leftover taquitos in a dry skillet over medium heat for best results.
