For my first recipe post I am sharing my version of Jackfruit Tacos!

This recipe is so easy to make and takes about 20 minutes.

Perfect for a ladies night or family dinner!

I enjoyed this yummy dinner, this past week, with 3 friends. We drank Stella Artois, which went really well with the meal.

I got all my ingredients from Oryana Community Co-op in Traverse City, Michigan. Note that the ingredients might vary depending on where you shop, you can vary the rice and jackfruit options to what ever your store offers. I aim to shop local, organic and at co-ops. I will share why I shop this way in a future blog post.
