Looking for a delicious way to spruce up some vegan nachos? Try these delicious Vegan BbQ Jackfruits Nachos loaded with veggies and so much flavor.
Sometimes, I truly just crave some loaded nachos. I mean, who doesn’t right?! Anytime I’m at a game or concert, nachos it is. Since I’m trying to incorporate more plant-based plant-centric meals into my daily diet, this recipe knocks it out of the park.
What is Jackfruit?
This was my first time cooking with jackfruit and you know what?! It’s not so bad. I found some at Whole Foods that came already shredded which was perfect, but they also sell them in a can.
For those unaware of what jackfruit is, it’s a relative of figs and breadfruit that grows in tropical areas. While it is technically a fruit, its consistency is similar to that of chicken or pork. It has a neutral taste when young, so it takes on the flavor of whatever sauce or seasoning you pair it with.
I chose BBQ as the sauce of choice and it turned out amazing. In fact, it was so good, my hubby didn’t even know it was vegan until part-way through dinner (yes, we had nachos for dinner).
