Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet siete cassava flour tortillas
  • 15 oz. white beans
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil for frying potatoes

Guacamole

  • 2 avocados
  • 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp. Cilantro
  • 3 tbsp. Red onion
  • 1 Pinch of salt
  • 1 Pinch of pepper

Fresh Pico De Gayo

  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp. red onion
  • 2 tbsp. Cilantro
  • 1/2 lime

Chickpea Cheese spread

  • 13 oz. chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic
  • 1/2 tsp onion
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast

Seasoned Jackfruit

  • 1 can jackfruit
  • 1/4 + 1 tbsp cup ketchup
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coco aminos
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3 tbsp salsa optional

Instructions
 

  • Cut the potatoes in bite sized pieces and then place them in a colander to rinse off the starch.
  • In a colander, drain the jackfruit. You can either put the jackfruit in a food processor and pulse 5 times until they look like shredded chicken or do it by hand. This will add 5-15 minutes to shred the jackfruit by hand.
  • Once the potatoes are dry, pat them with a clean reusable towel. In a medium or large pot on medium heat, add the oil and fry the potatoes or baked them on two pans. Cook until golden brown. Takes about 30 minutes or more.
  • In a medium/large pan on medium heat add the jackfruit and the seasonings. Cook for 20-30 minutes so that the jackfruit is dry but still chewy and flavorful. Best to cook without a lid so that the jackfruit can dehydrate. Best to flatten the jackfruit on the pan so it cooks thoroughly. Just make sure it does not burn, mix every 3-5 minutes or so.
  • While the jackfruit and potatoes are cooking you can wait until they are done, or prepare the Pico de Gayo and guacamole. For the Pico, cut the tomato, cilantro, & onion into small cubes. Mix in a bowl with half a lime.
    For the guacamole, cut the cilantro and onion and add it to the mashed avocados, then add the juice of the limes.
  • For the chickpea spread, in a blender add in all the ingredients and blend for 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and no pieces of chickpea exist. The ingredients are right under the "chickpea cheese spread".
  • Once the potatoes and jackfruit are done, you can heat up the tortilla in either pan. Spread the chickpea spread on the tortilla, and then add the toppings.
