Ingredients ###

For the Filling:
– 2 cups of young jackfruit (canned or fresh), shredded
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (include seeds for extra heat)
– 1/4 cup whisky
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:
– 4 large whole-wheat tortillas
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or spicy jalapeño cheese works best)
– Optional: sour cream for serving

Instructions ###

1. Prepare the Jackfruit Filling:
– Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
– Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
– Stir in the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
– Add the shredded jackfruit to the pan, stirring to combine with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
– Pour in the whisky, soy sauce, and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Stir well to coat the jackfruit.
– Season with salt and pepper to taste.
– Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit absorbs the flavors and becomes tender.

2. Assemble the Wraps:
– Warm the whole-wheat tortillas either in a dry skillet or microwave for easy wrapping.
– Lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the jackfruit mixture down the center.
– Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
– For added indulgence, drizzle with a bit of sour cream.

3. Wrap and Serve:
– Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up into a wrap.
– Serve immediately, or if you prefer a warm melted cheese experience, heat the assembled wraps in a skillet until the cheese melts.
