I can’t believe how easy and delicious this was. Letting it sit overnight is truly the key to a good dish. Making your own sauce will really do this dish justice. A good fresh baked roll wouldn’t hurt either.

Rachel – The seeds threw me off too at first but then I figured that all of it was edible. I didn’t try pulling it away from the center rind. I just shredded it after it was done cooking.

Definitely let it sit overnight for the best flavor, it makes a huge difference. I tried it with taco seasonings and chinese 5-spice, they’re both good. I still like the taquitos best.

Oh! Also, I feel like jackfruit is structured similarly to a pineapple, and I tried to pull it away from the center rind part as much as possible.

Did you have this problem?

I tried this tonight!

As I was taking the jackfruit out of the can, I noticed the seed like things that were in it (the oval but still soft pod like things) that came out when I squeezed the water out of it. I tried picking it out but a few of them were in the crock pot, and their texture really threw me off

I just made half a sandwich of it and I’m still not so sure, I’ll have my boyfriend try when he gets home.

Maybe we need to let it marinate overnight as well

Have you tried any other variations yet?

Todd – The jackfruit does come out a bit on the soft side. I think it might just be the nature of the jackfruit.

So far I liked it best rolled up in a taquito which I then bake. The crunchy shell counteracts the softness of the jackfruit. But if you ever try baking it afterwards, I would love to hear the results.

If I had any complaint (really not a complaint) it came from my wife,…she said it seemed just a bit too mushy for her. (no taste complaint from her)Yours looked more firm. Did I cook too long in the pan,…or do you think too long in the slow cooker?

I wonder if I threw it in the oven to bake afterward,…if that would firm it up and dry it out some to be more stringy and palatable for her?
