Cooking Tips:

  • Make sure to rinse the jackfruit well to remove the brine flavor.
  • For a more authentic “pulled pork” texture, you can bake the seasoned jackfruit for an additional 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C) after simmering.

Extra Equipment Needed:

Large skillet

Possible Substitutions:

  • Use flour tortillas instead of corn for a different texture.
  • Swap barbecue sauce for a homemade chipotle sauce for a spicier version.
  • Add pineapple chunks for a sweet and tangy twist.
