Serves 4

Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the jackfruit, then shred each piece with your hands or a fork into stringy strands.

  2. 2

    Saute the jackfruit in olive oil with cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the orange juice and simmer for 20 minutes until the liquid reduces and the edges crisp.

  4. 4

    Broil the jackfruit for 5 minutes to get caramelized crispy bits, like carnitas.

  5. 5

    Stir chopped cilantro and lime juice into the warm rice.

  6. 6

    Warm the black beans with a pinch of cumin.

  7. 7

    Build bowls with cilantro-lime rice, jackfruit, beans, and sliced avocado, finishing with a lime wedge.
