Ingredients

15 ounces of canned jackfruit drained
½ tablespoon of oil
½ tablespoon of taco seasoning
6 tostada shells
1 (15-ounce) can of vegan refried beans
½ cup of shredded lettuce
2 roma tomatoes diced
Handful of vegan cheese optional
1 avocado sliced, optional

Instructions

Using your fingers, shred the jackfruit and remove any tough pieces.
In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Once heated, add the jackfruit and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, adding the taco seasoning halfway through.
Slather on a layer of refried beans on each tostada shell, scoop on jackfruit, and top with lettuce, tomatoes, vegan cheese (if using), and avocado.

Notes

If making tostada shells: You can season them with salt or add more flavor with garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, taco seasoning, etc.
Dice the toppings finely: To enjoy everything in a single bite with less chance of making a mess.
