Taco flavored jackfruit and cauliflower rice wrapped in your favorite tortilla, what's not to love? Made with a Lime Crema to balance out the spicy flavors.

If you've never had jackfruit before, it is found in tropical regions of the world. It is commonly used in South and Southeast Asian cooking.

To me, it tastes like artichoke hearts. This Jackfruit and Cauliflower Rice Burrito is actually only my second time having it. The first time was a seasoned package that I included in some Jackfruit Enchiladas.

The great thing about jackfruit is it's similar to tofu in that it takes on the flavors that you add to it. It shreds nicely, which is why you see so many vegan BBQ jackfruit sandwiches.

I've included a recipe for Lime Crema, but you could use guacamole or vegan sour cream instead. I definitely think it needs some form of lime juice, whether that be in the form of lime crema, lime juice added to guacamole, or just squirted on the burrito.

The lime adds brightness, and in the form of crema, it balances out the spice.

For my Lime Crema, I added a small amount of maple syrup to balance out the tartness of the cream. It also helps to give the burritos a little sweet and spicy moment.

Another recipe to try is my fusion Vegan Taco Rice (Takoraisu) recipe.

🧾 Ingredients

Jackfruit and Cauliflower Burrito

Jackfruit: I used canned young green jackfruit in brine. It also tastes great in a Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich.
Onion: I used a yellow onion. You could also use a white onion or a sweet onion.
Olive oil: To cook the veggies.
Cauliflower rice: You can use fresh or frozen cauliflower rice. If you use fresh cauliflower you can add it to a food processor and pulse it until you get the consistency you want. You could also switch out the cauliflower rice with my Mexican Cauliflower Rice Rice recipe.
Salsa: I used roasted tomato salsa. Use your favorite homemade or store-bought salsa.
Chili powder, cayenne pepper, Mexican oregano, and cumin: Add the taco-flavored spices. You could also use taco seasoning.
Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.
Tortillas: I used gluten-free spinach amaranth tortillas. Use your favorite tortillas.

Lime Crema (optional)

Lime juice: I juiced fresh limes. I do not recommend store-bought lime juice because it has additives.
Vegan yogurt: I used plain unsweetened coconut yogurt. You can use your favorite, just make sure it is unsweetened and plain.
Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup.
Salt: Enhances flavors.
