If jackfruit is unavailable, you can substitute chopped seitan,
steamed tempeh, or portobello mushrooms in this recipe. Or you can use
reconstituted soy curls or TVP.

Press the moisture from the rinsed & drained jackfruit, then shred or
chop it and transfer to a bowl. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano,
paprika, and cayenne, tossing to coat the jackfruit with the spices,
or use your hands to rub the spices into the jackfruit. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion
and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the
jackfruit and any remaining seasonings from the bowl. Cook, stirring,
until the jackfruit browns slightly. Stir in the salsa and season to
taste with salt & pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the
flavors are well infused into the jackfruit, 20 to 30 minutes. Keep
warm.

Preheat the oven to 375?F. Wrap the taco shells or tortillas in
aluminum foil and place in the oven to warm, 2 to 4 minutes.

To assemble the tacos, spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into each
taco shell or tortilla. Top as desired with any combination of
toppings. Serve immediately.
