These are so good. The jackfruit is super tender and it all sort of melts in your mouth. Paired with a cool coleslaw and option to meal prep.

1small onion, diced
2tbsp avocado oil
1garlic clove , minced

1tbsp paprika
1tsp cumin

111oz bag of broccoli, brussels, and kale slaw, (or any slaw you prefer)
1/2cupvegan mayo, (or less)
1tbsp apple cider vinegar
3tbspmaple syrup, (add extra if you like it a bit sweeter)
salt/pepper to taste
Extras
pickles
hot sauce for desired heat
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit. Massage the jackfruit to break the pieces apart.
In a medium saucepan heat up the avocado oil and onion and cook until the onion is translucent about 5-6 minutes.
Add in the jackfruit and and the rest of the ingredients except bbq sauce (save that for the end). Stir frequently so it doesn't stick and if you noticing drying out you can add a bit of water. Let it cook for 15 minutes.
Once the 15 minutes is up add in the cup of bbq sauce, lower the heat and it simmer for another 10-15 minutes or until sauce is heated through.
Now that the jackfruit is cooked through you can mash it up even more with a fork as it will be super tender and will shred more easily.
For the slaw mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Scoop bbq jackfruit onto a small roll and top with slaw. Serve and enjoy!You can also skip the bread and eat the bbq jackfruit with the slaw alone, totally meal prep worthy.
Notes
You can keep this on a low simmer, covered for up to 45 minutes and that will deepen the flavor.
