Metric - US customary

Instructions

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan.
Fry the onion over a medium heat, stirring often for about 10 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Add the garlic and fry for one minute. Add the spices, stir and then add the tomato purée.
Cook for a minute stirring often then add the sliced jackfruit and all the liquid ingredients.
Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Stir and break down the jackfruit with a wooden spoon as you go. This will get easier towards the end of the cooking process as it softens.
Season with salt and pepper to taste

To make the tomato salsa

Mix the chopped onion, tomatoes, lime juice and chopped coriander together. Season with salt to taste. Set aside

To serve

Warm the tortillas. Add a large dollop of the jackfruit mixture and top with the salsa, guacamole and other toppings as liked. Fold in half or wrap up like a burrito and don't worry if it gets messy - it's all part of the fun!
