Ingredients

1 can of jackfruit, drained, hard core removed, and shredded (we used Ceres Organics)
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbs BBQ sauce
1 onion finely sliced
Tortillas or tacos

For the salsa

2 tomatoes, deseeded and finely diced
1 persimmon, skin removed and finely diced
1 spring onion, finely sliced
Juice of 1 lime
A handful of fresh coriander leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Coconut yoghurt and fresh coriander to serve


Method

Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the onion.

Add the jackfruit and cook a further 3 minutes.

Add the smoked paprika and BBQ sauce, stir through and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the persimmon salsa by combining all of the ingredients and stirring through.

Warm the tacos or tortillas, whichever you are using, and build you taco!

Finish with a drizzle of coconut yoghurt and a sprinkle of fresh sprouts or coriander.
