INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- 2 Quarter one white onion and peel two garlic cloves, then add them to a sheet pan.
- 3 Drizzle olive oil over the onions, and season with FlavorGod Himalayan salt and pink peppercorns. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- 4 Remove the roasted onions and garlic from the oven and transfer them to a blender. Add vegetable broth, Worcestershire sauce, Habanero seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and star anise.
- 5 Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to create the birria sauce.
- 6 Pat the rinsed jackfruit dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place it in a bowl and season with 1 tsp Taco Tuesday seasoning, FlavorGod Himalayan salt, and pink peppercorns.
- 7 Cut the remaining white onion in half, slice one half, and chop the other half for the tacos.
- 8 In a pan, add olive oil, sliced onions, and jackfruit. Sauté until slightly browned.
- 9 Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle Taco Tuesday seasoning on each corn tortilla.
- 10 Chop the remaining half of the white onion and roughly chop the cilantro.
- 11 Steam the tortillas for about 20 seconds to prevent them from breaking when assembling.
- 12 Build the tacos by adding a layer of plant-based mozzarella shreds, sautéed jackfruit and onions, and more shreds. Top with raw onions and cilantro. Fold the tortillas over and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- 13 Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the folded tacos on it. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until desired crunch.
- 14 Garnish the tacos with more raw onions and cilantro. Serve with a side of the dipping sauce.
