Ingredients

  • 20 oz jackfruit (in water or brine - not syrup)
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 red pepper chopped (about ½ a cup)
  • 2 20oz cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 10 oz can tomatoes with chili peppers
  • 4 oz diced green chili peppers (I used canned)
  • 1 cup corn (preferably organic)
  • 1 15.5 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • juice of one lime
  • 1.5 TB garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 0.5-2 TB chili powder (depending on how spicy you like things)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 TB maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Toppings (optional)

  • vegan sour cream
  • vegan cheese shreds
  • scallions

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain jackfruit. Pull apart a bit. If you're not into the seeds you can discard them. Another option is to add the jackfruit to a food processor and process a few times until it resembles pulled pork. 
  • Add all ingredients to crockpot.
  • Cook on high for 2.5-3 hours or on low for 5-6 hours. 
  • Enjoy! 

Notes

I've frozen some of this and enjoyed it reheated as well.
