Growing up in India, my grand-parents' home had a huge tree in the backyard and we had ample supply of jackfruits and goodies that were made out of it. Over the years, I forgot this fruit ..until recently I rediscovered it in Asian supermarket. Have been seeing several Instagram posts about Green Jack Fruit as an alternative to pulled pork. So I wanted to give it a try ...oh boy we, including kids love it. Slightly sweet yet meaty, this is becoming a regular choice of meatless filling for tacos in our casa. Everyone looks forward to these Green Jackfruit Tacos for dinner or quick fix lunches with leftovers.
