JACKFRUIT EVERYTHING!

Have y'all seen a jackfruit before? They are HUGE! These big, prickly things are packed with a million nutrients and until a few months ago, I had no clue what they were. I started out by finding some pre-seasoned jackfruit packets because who knew what they'd taste like. Some people use this fruit as a meat sub and it's mild flavor allows you to add spices and sauces, easily.

There are a few flavors that come in these packets. They are super easy to heat up and I am addicted!!! My kids love it too. You can find these packets over in the produce section where the vegan cheeses and tofu is. You can also find jackfruit in the canned food section, plain, if you would rather add your own seasonings/sauces. This tex mex flavor is my favorite at the moment. I make nachos, tacos, and tex mex bowls with this goodness. There is really so much you can do, use your beautiful imagination, friends.
