Jackfruit “Pulled Pork” Tostadas

Jackfruit “Pulled Pork” Tostadas

Tostadas are basically an open-faced taco on a crunchy shell. Tostadas are traditionally topped with beans, meat, and veggies, but they can oh-so-easily be made vegan! Of course, you can simply swap in vegan ground meat, but today we’re doing something extra-special.

Ingredients

  • Refried Beans
  • 2 teaspoons of coconut oil
  • ¼ cup of yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds discarded unless you want heat)
  • ¾ teaspoon of cumin
  • ½ teaspoon of chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 19oz can or 1 ¾ cups pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons of water
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of lime juice

BBQ Jackfruit

  • 1 14oz can of jackfruit in brine
  • ⅓ cup of bbq sauce, or to taste
  • Toppings can include: chopped tomatoes, avocado, corn, shredded lettuce, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, vegan sour cream, red onions, vegan cheese, jalapenos, cilantro, etc…
  • 6 corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Begin by making the refried beans. Heat a large pan. Add the coconut oil, onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper and sauté for another 3 minutes.
  3. Place the beans in a shallow bowl and mash them with a potato masher. Mash them until they are mostly broken down, but leave some texture.
  4. Add the beans to the pan along with the water, cilantro, and lime juice. Cook for another 5 minutes on medium/low heat. Set aside and keep warm.
  5. Heat a medium pan. Shred the jackfruit by hand and remove any firm cores. Add the jackfruit to the pan and heat it for 5 minutes. Add the bbq sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and add more bbq sauce if needed. Set aside and keep warm.
  6. Prepare any toppings that you will be adding to the tostadas.
  7. Just before serving, set your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the tortillas flat directly on the oven rack. Bake for just a couple of minutes, until they are firm (but not too hard). Watch that they don’t burn!
  8. Assemble the tostadas by adding the refried beans, jackfruit, and any toppings you desire. Enjoy!
