Sweet and Spicy BBQ Jackfruit, Kale, and Mango Melts
Ingredients
- 3 lavash wraps or thin flatbreads
- 1 can of jackfruit in brine
- 1 small red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1/2 cup vegan friendly BBQ sauce
- 1 large handful of kale
- 1/2 cup diced ripe, fresh mango
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese of choice
- Fresh lime juice
Optional
- A drizzle of avocado oil
Preparation
Drain jackfruit and break pieces apart with your hands until it has a pulled consistency. If there are any tough, chewy seeds, cut them up with a knife or discard.
Thinly slice onion and jalapeño and mince garlic.
Heat up a non-stick pan on low medium heat, add a small amount of avocado oil and fry onions until fragrant and starting to brown.
Add garlic and pulled jackfruit and continue cooking on low medium heat for about 15 minutes until all excess liquid is gone.
Add sliced jalapeños and BBQ sauce and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
In the meantime, wash and chop kale, squeeze some lime juice over it and give it a quick massage (optional but recommended).
Assemble some of the vegan cheese, jackfruit, kale and chopped mango on one half of the flatbread or wrap. Finish with some more cheese and fold over.
Fry the melts in a non-stick pan on medium heat for a few minutes on each side until lightly browned and cheese has melted.
Cut in half and enjoy.
