Vegan Taco Cups
Updated: 6 days ago

Veganuary is coming to an end, and I must say I have made some delicious dishes over these past weeks (please check out my Instagram for some recipes). I will definitely revisit these dishes and share more as I plan to incorporate more plant-based meals into my family's diet this year. My big kid is allergic to fish, so plant-based omega-3 sources are a must for his diet.
For this recipe, you will need some young jackfruits in a can. I have only seen these at WholeFoods, but I'm sure they are everywhere. Jackfruit is a popular meat substitute as it has the same texture as a "pork carnitas" when shredded and pan-fried. Jackfruit is a good source of vitamin C and potassium. It can also help in weight loss if consumed the right way. Jackfruit is high in fiber, which helps improve digestion and metabolism – the fundamentals of weight loss.
Here are the list of ingredients and step by step photos of how to make these delicious taco cups.
