For a smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the jackfruit while it's simmering. If you prefer a spicier taco, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of your favorite hot sauce to the jackfruit mixture. For a complete meal, serve the tacos with a side of rice and beans. To make your own taco seasoning, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Try using different types of salsa to vary the flavor of the tacos. Mango salsa, corn salsa, or black bean salsa are all great options.
