Ingredients

Serves: 4
  • 4 large papads shaped like tacos
  • 1 cup canned jackfruit, drained and shredded
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Grated cheese for topping (optional)
  • Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for serving
  1. Heat a little oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Sauté until they turn translucent.
  2. Add the shredded jackfruit and sauté for a few minutes until it starts to brown.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they soften.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, taco seasoning, and salt. Cook for a couple of minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
  5. While the jackfruit mixture is cooking, you can heat the papad tacos. Lightly roast them over an open flame or in the microwave until they are crisp but still flexible.
  6. Fill each papad taco with the jackfruit mixture.
  7. If desired, top with grated cheese and place them in the microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Cooking Tip

  • To prevent the papad tacos from becoming soggy, prepare them just before serving. You can customize the filling with your favorite taco ingredients like lettuce, jalapeños, or diced bell peppers for a personalized touch
