Street tacos are a central component of Mexican culture and are called antojitos, meaning “little cravings.” They’re meant to be enjoyed while walking about, as a small snack. Traditionally, they’re made using corn tortillas, meat (beef or chicken), pico de gallo, lime juice, and cilantro. In this recipe, protein-rich black bean spread replaces meat and is spread on top of organic corn tortillas with more nutritious ingredients added on top. The result is a flavorful and nutrient-rich street taco!

Swap out chicken with jackfruit for a “pulled” meat type of chili that isn’t meat at all and is better for you and the planet. When jackfruit is harvested early, before it has a chance to ripen and become soft and sweet, it has a neutral flavor and satisfyingly chewy texture, making it a perfect substitute for meat. Get ready to add this to your plant-based recipe library because it’s going to go over really well with the whole family. And, if it’s just for you, hooray for leftovers! It’s even better the next day.
