You know whats amazing, loads of flavor with not much effort. These wraps filled with spiced jackfruit and beans have a load of flavor and can be served up any which way. Make just the Jamaican jerk jackfruit and fill up sandwiches or a grilled quesadilla with greens or onions and vegan cheddar (I use daiya cheddar slices), make the beans and some rice and fill up a bowl and top with chopped mango or other fruit. Or wrap everything up for all the flavors together.
The Jackfruit is amply spiced with homemade Jamaican jerk seasoning. The Caribbean black beans are simple beans with onion garlic and some orange juice. Use any crunchy veggies, greens and sweet fruits and fill up tacos or wraps. Try Jackfruit also in my Easy Jackfruit Curry or Chipotle Garlic Jackfruit Tacos. I use young green jackfruit. Young Jackfruit is available in canned, fresh or frozen form in Indian or Asian Stores. It is available canned online on stores like amazon.com. Be sure to get young jackfruit in water or brine. Ripe jackfruit is too sweet and is generally used as dessert or served directly as fruit. Add it to your chia pudding or oatmeal if you get the ripe jackfruit accidentally.

Wonderful recipe! I found it a bit to spicy for me but that is an easy fix and has to do with personal taste. Next time I will just cut the cayenne.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Sometimes it’s tough to gauge the personal spice level on the first try, that’s for sure! 🙂
Can I use jackfruit that was frozen ? If so do I need to change anything?
yes, absolutely ! Cook the shredded jackfruit in jamaican jerk seasoning and broth, then continue to roast to dry them up a bit.
DELICIOUS! So much flavor… so easy. We served them with oven fried sweet potatoes. Thank you for this recipe… I know we will be coming back to it often.
Omg, so delicious- my first attempt at jackfruit too!
Just made this and my husband and I loved it. Thanks for the recipe!
yay
These were delicious, thank you for the fabulous recipe.
How about making it in a slow cooker?
you can make it, i dont use one so i dont know the times
How would you cook it differently if using soy curls? Thanks!!
soak the soycurls in hot water for 10 mins, then drain and shred and follow the recipe.
Thank you.
It is more than I can eat. I bought half cut fruit. I guess I cant use the ripe one to make anything so I will freeze it.
puree it and use it instead of mango in vegan mango cheesecake, or cupcakes (i have a cupcake recipe), or add to chia puddings, donuts etc
