Sometimes you've gotta live a little dangerously! I know, I know... not exactly living on the edge, but enjoying Jackfruit from time to time is fun because it's just so amazing! You'll find it in the can and can spice it up any way you like.

Ingredients

2 cups brown rice (or any grain you like)

1-2 cans jackfruit (quantity depends on family size)

1-2 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp cumin

1 can tomatoes

1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, sliced

1 jar chipotle salsa

1 bag avocados (ripe), peeled, pitted and flesh removed with a spoon

1 shallot, minced

1 tsp salt

1-2 limes

1 cup toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

sour cream, as a garnish *optional, or choose a Vegan version

grated cheese, as a garnish *optional, or choose a Vegan version

1 bag tortilla chips

1 bunch cilantro, chopped as needed *for garnish

Instructions

Begin by cooking grains according to package instructions. *For extra flavor, cook in any leftover stock.
While grains are cooking, add jackfruit, chili powder, cumin and tomatoes to a small-medium saucepan and heat to warm through.
While all of the above are working, make your Chipotle-Avocado Mash: combine chipotle salsa, avocado flesh, the minced shallot, salt, and lime juice to a bowl and mash with a fork to combine.
When grains are cooked and Jackfruit is warmed through, get ready to serve!
In each individual bowl, add grains then top with Jackfruit, sliced bell pepper, Chipotle-Avocado Mash, toasted pepitas, sour cream*, cheese*, and some tortilla chips on the side with a slice of lime and chopped cilantro.
