Hello lovelies, we stay on the spicy side and so we’re travelling a little further with today's recipe: Jackfruit Jalapeno Tacos. Next to Asian food, Mexican cuisine is one of our absolute favorites. We were already able to spend time in Mexico twice and we loved it, not only because of the food. That's why I have a Mexican-inspired dish for you today, as the next spice I used from the Knorr Switzerland series is jalapeno flakes.

This time I made the tacos with jackfruit. If you are wondering now, yes Jackfruit, you may know it from Asian countries as a sweet fruit. But young jackfruit is becoming increasingly popular as a meat substitute and when delicately flavored, it almost has the consistency of "pulled pork". You can buy the young Jackfruit in brine in many Asian shops or more and more in organic shops. The preparation is very simple and I can promise you, the result will blow your mind.

In addition to the deliciously spiced jackfruit, the tacos also had a fine sauce with sour cream, mayonnaise and fresh cilantro to balance out the spiciness of the jalapeno flakes. I filled the tacos with corn, pickled red cabbage and jalapenos. And I added fresh cilantro and a splash of lime juice - a party for your taste buds!
