Ingredients

  • Roasted Poblano Peppers
  • 3 large poblano peppers
  • Adobo Cream Sauce
  • 1 x 7.5 oz / 212 g can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce about ½ cup
  • 1 C raw cashews soaked for 20 minutes in hot water
  • ½ C fresh water
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Jackfruit Filling
  • 1 x 20 oz/565 g can of young green jackfruit in water
  • 2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 C finely chopped yellow or white onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon sage
  • 1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire
  • Tacos
  • 2 C finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1 handful cilantro leaves
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 6 6-inch flour tortillas
  • extra lime slices as garnish

Instructions

  • Roast the poblanos for about 6 to 8 minutes per side on a baking sheet under the broiler in the oven. Ensure you place the baking sheet on the middle rack rather than too close to the element. You can also char them over an open flame if you have a gas range stovetop. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning them occasionally with a pair of metal tongs to get the peppers evenly charbroiled. Either way, do not leave these unattended or forget about them! They're done when they've softened a bit and have turned a deep browny green color and dark charred spots all over.
  • Immediately place the peppers in a plastic bag and seal it. This will allow them to sweat and steam helping to remove the skins easily. Leave them in the bag while you prepare the sauce and jackfruit.
