Jackfruit Adobo Taco
Apl.de.Ap
​Black Eyed Peas

Picture
You know him as a member of the highly. successful band “The Black Eyed Peas.” 

​We know that he is a great singer, supporter of the arts, and community supporter and leader. 

We know that he hails from the great province of Pampanga and that he takes every opportunity to promote his culture and his roots. 

​What we didn’t know is that one way he does that is by cooking for his bandmates ... and what does he cook? Filipino food, of course. 

​Here’s one dish that Apl tweaked to meet the culinary preferences of his bandmate, Will.I.Am, for more vegetarian and/or vegan food. 

​It’s gonna be good!
Ingredients
  • 3 cans unripe canned jackfruit
  • Corn tortilla
  • Gluten Free Soy Sauce
  • Vinegar
  • 1 large onion

For your toppings:
  • Cilantro
  • Radish (optional)
  • Chili pepper (optional)
  • Lemon
  • Cheese​
  • Avocado
  • Salsa (pre-made) or you can make your own. 
Procedure​

Prep 
  1. Begin by cutting one onion, and Mince three cloves of garlic
  2. Make your adobo sauce: Add 1.5 cup of water, 1 cup of soy sauce, and .5 cup of vinegar to a bowl
  3. Add  bay leaves and peppercorns, and some garlic. 
  4. Add your jackfruit and marinate the mixture overnight. 

To Cook:
  1.  Add oil to a medium-sized pan, cook over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions and cook onions for 4-6 minutes, until translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic.

  5. Add the marinated jackfruit, including the sauce. 
  6. Cover and cook to a boil. Once boiling,  bring the heat down to low, and cook for 30-45 minutes.
  7. While your adobo is cooking, prep your garnishes.  Slice the radishes into thin strips. Dice your onions, and cilantro. 
  8. Once the jackfruit is cooked, take it off the stove, and slice into strips or small cuts, like shredded pork. 
  9. Heat up your corn tortilla over your stove. 
  10. Take your warm tortilla, and fill it up with the jackfruit mixture (don’t forget to drizzle some juice) and top off with your choice of toppings.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
