Method

STEP 1
Heat 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the onions with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes until turning translucent. Add the peppers and cook over a medium heat for a further 10 minutes until everything is golden and slightly charred, before turning it down and leaving it to cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally.
STEP 2
In a separate frying pan, add the remaining vegetable oil and fry the garlic for a couple of minutes. Add the cumin seeds and fry for a further minute. Mix in the paprika and chilli powder, and add the jackfruit, mixing until fully incorporated, adding a good pinch of salt and pepper, and fry on a low heat with a splash of water for 10 minutes, breaking up the jackfruit with the side of a spoon.
STEP 3
In the meantime, put all of the salsa ingredients in a bowl with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt, and mix together.
STEP 4
Stir the peppers and onions into the jackfruit pan, mix really well and season. Serve with warm tortillas topped with the tomato salsa, sliced avocado, coriander, a squeeze of lime and chilli sauce, if you like.
