About this recipe
BBQ pulled jackfruit tacos with avocado crema and slaw Thermomix TM7 style bring a true Tex-Mex feast to your table with remarkably little effort. If you have been searching for a vegan taco recipe that satisfies even devoted meat eaters, tinned young jackfruit is the secret: its fibrous flesh shreds just like slow-cooked pulled pork and soaks up smoky barbecue sauce beautifully. The TM7 all-in-one kitchen machine does the heavy lifting for this quick weeknight dinner. It chops red and white cabbage into a crisp slaw in mere seconds, blends avocado with lime into a silky crema, and heats the seasoned jackfruit gently so the sauce thickens without catching on the bowl. Serve everything warm in soft tortillas with the cool crema drizzled over the hot filling. Whether for a casual Friday dinner, a summer gathering or meat-free Monday, these tacos deliver bold flavour, varied texture and a plant-based main course everyone will happily share.
Preparation tips
- Drain and rinse the tinned jackfruit well before use, then squeeze out excess brine so the barbecue sauce penetrates the fibres instead of tasting salty during cooking.
- Taste the avocado crema just before serving and adjust with extra lime juice; a touch more acidity balances the sweet, smoky jackfruit and keeps the avocado bright green.
- Shred the warm jackfruit with two forks straight after heating while it is still soft, then toss it back through the sauce so every strand is coated before filling the tortillas.
Recipe variations
- For a fully vegan version, replace any dairy element in the crema with coconut yoghurt or plant-based sour cream and confirm your barbecue sauce and tortillas are vegan-certified for a 100% plant-based taco night.
- For a festive summer variation, grill the filled tacos briefly on a barbecue or griddle pan to char the tortillas, add charred corn and pickled red onion for extra colour and smoky sweetness.
