Tortillas
Rice
Beans
Salsa
Avocado
Cabbage
Sliced Radish

Instructions

Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Recipe Notes and Variations

Make sure to drain and rinse your jackfruit. Look for young green jackfruit that’s canned in water. Other canning options like brine or syrup can change the flavor of the jackfruit.
The beauty of burrito bowls is you can really make them your own. Feel free to add whatever toppings you like to your jackfruit burrito bowl including cheese and meat if you aren’t a vegan.
If it’s summer where you are, try topping off your jackfruit burrito bowl with grilled fennel.
