Switch of taco night with these BBQ Jackfruit Tacos with Avocado Mango Cabbage Slaw!

If you have followed the blog for awhile, you already know that I'm a huge fan of jackfruit. Jackfruit is the one of my favorite whole-food plant-based meat alternatives.

I think that jackfruit makes such a great taco filling. I have shared my favorite jackfruit taco recipes over the years: Jackfruit Tacos with Rice , Beer Braised Jackfruit Tacos, and Slow Cooker Jackfruit Adobada Tacos. 

Sometimes when life gets super busy, I love using supermarket shortcuts. When I want to make jackfruit tacos for dinner but only have a few minutes, I love taking a little help from the grocery store. This is where The Jackfruit Company comes into play.

The Jackfruit Company produces great quality products that are perfect when you need a quick and easy meal. The jackfruit is ethically sourced, expertly prepared, and incredibly easy to enjoy at home!

I really love the BBQ Jackfruit from The Jackfruit Company. 

The best part is that the jackfruit only takes a few minutes to cook too!

For these BBQ jackfruit tacos, I wanted to make a quick and easy slaw to go with the jackfruit. This mango and avocado slaw is inspired by my Mexican Cabbage and Avocado Salad.  

I used the salad recipe as a base and switch up a few ingredients. I added mango along with the avocado. I think that mango pairs really nicely with the BBQ jackfruit. You could also use diced pineapple, which would be delicious!

Taco night just got a lot easier by using the BBQ jackfruit! These tacos are easy to make and a delicious plant-based taco.
