Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos

"Are you ready for a whole new experience for Taco night? These Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos are the perfect replacement for traditional pork tacos. The texture and flavor will know your socks off. When cooked, they have an uncanny resemblance and texture to shredded pork or chicken. Also, the unripened jackfruit is virtually tasteless, and it has the ability to absorb lots of flavor from seasonings, just like meat. The meat-like, shredded texture of the jackfruit, makes it a great replacement to pulled-pork or chicken recipes. When it cooks it will fall apart and shred, while absorbing all the goodness. It’s very similar to traditional shredded carnitas (a Mexican cuisine, containing shredded pork)."
