  • 1 16 oz can refried black beans
  • shredded vegan cheese
  • 12 8-inch tortillas

Chipotle sauce

  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 - 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 - 3 tbsp adobo sauce
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp agave
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp cilantro roughly chopped stems and leaves

Creamy Avocado Sauce

  • ½ cup cashews
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 avocado
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp cilantro
  • 1 lime juiced

Serve with

  • Salsa
  • Cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Soak the cashews in boiling hot water.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat and sauté the onion in a little oil for a couple of minutes.
  • Make the chipotle sauce: Add 2-3 peppers and 2-3 tablespoons of the adobo sauce (depending on your spice preference) to a food processor or blender. Add the tomato sauce, water, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Blend until smooth.
  • Drain the jackfruit and add it to the pan with the onions, add the sauce and bring it to a low simmer, cover for ten minutes.
  • Make the creamy avocado sauce. First drain the soaking water from the cashews. Then put all of the ingredients for the creamy avocado sauce to a blender and blend until super smooth and creamy.
  • After 10 minutes of simmering, the jackfruit should be tender and you can shred the pieces with a spatula, fork, or tongs.
  • Spread the refried black beans in a thin layer on the entire tortilla using a spoon, add the marinated jackfruit in a thin line at the edge of the tortilla, top with a pinch of vegan cheese, and roll the tortilla up and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you run out of ingredients.
  • Spray the tortillas with oil and place in the oven for 25 mins.
  • When the tortillas are done they should be light brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 mins.
  • Once the taquitos are done baking, serve with the creamy avocado sauce, salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges
