Pulled Jackfruit Tacos

Young green jackfruit in brine has almost no sweetness and a fibrous structure that pulls apart like slow-cooked meat.

The trick is not the shredding but what comes after: pushing it past braised into browned, so it crisps rather than steams.

Jackfruit does not taste of much on its own, which is exactly why it works — it takes on whatever it is cooked in and holds a shredded texture nothing else quite matches.

Cook it long enough to catch at the edges and the tacos stop feeling like a substitute for anything.
