About this recipe
Sweet pepper nachos with guacamole and BBQ jackfruit burritos Thermomix TM7 style bring a Tex-Mex party feast straight to your table. Searching for a quick weeknight dinner or a show-stopping snack for friends? This all-in-one kitchen machine recipe covers both. Tinned young jackfruit, simmered in a smoky homemade barbecue sauce with cumin, paprika and cayenne, shreds into a convincing plant-based pulled filling for warm tortillas. Meanwhile, sweet peppers and onions form a colourful nacho topping, finished with freshly made guacamole whipped silky in seconds. The TM7 grinds whole spices to powder for maximum flavour, chops onions and garlic without tears, and stirs the sauce hands-free so it never catches on the bottom. Whether you are vegetarian, vegan-curious or simply feeding a hungry crowd, this double recipe turns humble ingredients into a festive spread with minimal washing up.
Preparation tips
- Drain the tinned jackfruit thoroughly and squeeze out the brine before cooking; this removes the slightly sour pickled taste and lets the BBQ sauce with paprika and cumin penetrate every fibre.
- Make the guacamole just before serving and press cling film directly onto the surface to slow down browning; ripe avocados with a slight give when pressed give the silkiest dip for your nachos.
- For a milder family version, halve the cayenne pepper and let everyone add hot sauce individually at the table — the sweet paprika still delivers plenty of smoky depth for the burrito filling.
Recipe variations
- Make it fully vegan by skipping any dairy toppings and serving the BBQ jackfruit burritos with cashew cream instead; blend soaked cashews with lemon juice and garlic in the TM7 for a rich, lactose-free sauce.
- For a festive party platter, turn everything into loaded nachos only: spread the BBQ jackfruit, sweet peppers and guacamole over tortilla chips and bake briefly until warm — ideal for game night sharing.
