Spicy Jackfruit Burrito

A good burrito is made with nice flour tortillas and a tasty filling. It’s a great meal to have on the go, take to the office, or school as a packed lunch –  a much tastier option than a sandwich! Often burrito recipes focus on meat eaters and don’t satisfy vegetarians. In this Spicy Jackfruit Burrito recipe, we offer everything a meat burrito has and make it look and taste just as good.

If you’ve never tried jackfruit this is your chance to! It’s very easy to prepare, and when combined with a sauce and cooked in the oven, it resembles the texture of shredded meat. Another plus about using jackfruit as your main protein is that it requires less cooking time than if you were cooking a piece of meat, making it perfect for everyday meals.

For this spicy burrito recipe we cover the jackfruit with Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste and honey amongst other ingredients to create the perfect marinade for our plant-based filling. Once it comes out of the oven steaming hot, it is then shredded and ends up resembling pulled pork! It will taste just as good as any meat option you’ve tried!

This is a fiery recipe but you can adjust the heat by adding half the amount of Chipotle Paste, and prepare it according to your preference.

We recommend sharing a platter of our delicious Vegan Nachos – yum!

There are no rules in terms of what you can put into a burrito, so just like tacos, they are the perfect vessel to wrap up any leftovers. What’s not to love about a warm and soft Gran Luchito Burrito Wrap holding a flavourful and substantial filling?!
