Pulled Jackfruit Burritos

Burritos are always fun to make and are perfect for cool gatherings. This recipe might take four big major steps because you’re preparing everything from scratch, but even when you build traditional tortillas, it still involves many components.
The freshness of the ingredients makes it so worth it, though.

Ingredients

Chile sauce

  • 2 Poblano chilis fresh or dried California chilis stemmed and seeded (Notes)
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 20 oz-can green jackfruit in brine or water
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Caribbean Black Beans

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups black beans cooked or 2 x 15 oz-can (Notes)
  • 1 cups Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Guacamole

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons red onions minced
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic crushed (about 1 clove)
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch Cayenne pepper

Garnish

  • Diced tomatoes or salsa
  • ½ cup minced cilantro
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 4-6 large collard leaves shaved and stem removed

Instructions

  • Make the sauce: In a high-powered blender, place the chilis with the remain ingredients, except the olive oil, and blend until completely smooth. Add the olive oil and continue blending until emulsified. Set aside.
  • Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Squeeze out excess liquid by pressing the jackfruit pieces in a paper towel. Slice jackfruit into thin, ¼-inch thick strips using a small knife, from core to edge, or shred in a food processor.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shredded jackfruit and cook for 2-3 min. Add the sauce and ¼ cup water. Cook partially covered for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Once the mixture is dry, salt to taste.
  • Make the Caribbean black beans: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent for 4-5 min. Add the black beans and the remaining ingredients, and simmer for 10 min. Stir occasionally.
  • To assemble: Spread the guacamole onto the collard leaf. In rows, add the black beans, corn, tomatoes, and jackfruit. Drizzle the filling with lime juice from a wedge and sprinkle with cilantro. Fold each extremity of the collard leaf perpendicularly to the rows of the filling and roll the free extremities into a burrito. Cut in half and secure each half with a toothpick.
  • Served immediately.

Notes

If using dried chilis, in a medium bowl, cut into pieces and discard seeds. Soak for 30 minutes then drain. If using dried black beans, soak overnight and cook the night before or the day of the recipe. Cook for about 45 minutes.
Placed in a tight container in the refrigerator, the wraps will keep for a day, the blacks beans for a week and the jackfruit for 5 days.
