Ingredients
Plantains and Guac
- 1 batch air fried/baked plantain chips with guacamole see recipe
Jackfruit
- 2 20 oz. cans young green jackfruit in brine or water
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon ginger minced
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for GF
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
Jerk Seasoning Mix
- 3 tablespoon coconut or raw sugar
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Toppings (optional)
- Cilantro leaves
- Salsa or diced tomatoes
- Vegan cheese sauce recipe for cashew queso
Instructions
- Prepare plantain chips according to recipe.
- Drain jackfruit and cut away any hard parts of the "core" if needed. Toss jackfruit with the jerk seasoning mix and sauté in oil. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté over medium high heat for 5 minutes, until brown.
- Once browned and fragrant, add the soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, and tomato paste to the jackfruit. Toss and simmer on low-medium heat for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, you can prepare the guacamole according to recipe.
- Assemble your jerk plantain nachos. I like to put a layer of plantain chips on the plate, top with spoons of the jerk jackfruit, and top that with dollops of guacamole. Top everything with salsa, nacho cheese sauce, and cilantro leaves if using. Enjoy!
