would feel like that should have came
out ever be I know you know like fake
use a pair of tongs please everybody its
Lauren from hot for food and today we're
making some tasty tacos tacos are one of
my favorite things and we haven't made
them in a while now you may have seen
this recipe on hot for food blog calm
and it was so delicious that I thought I
had to share it with the YouTube
audience it is roasted poblano peppers
and jackfruit tacos with an adobo cream
sauce it sounds like something that
should be at a restaurant but it's very
easy to whip together I think some
people are a little in the dark about
what to do with jackfruit but tacos is
definitely the way to go so let's get
started first things first you are going
to roast your poblano peppers these are
magnificent peppers what you're going to
do is you're going to put them on a
baking tray like this and you're going
to pop them in the oven on the broil
setting and then they're going to get
all blistery and charred and that's what
you want it only takes about 12 minutes
like 6 minutes per side so you'll flip
them halfway through I've already
roasted our poblano peppers and when
they come out they're all soft and gooey
and what you want to do while they're
still hot is throw them in a bag and
then let them sweat in there and then
the skin will easily peel off before we
slice them up and saute it with the
jackfruit so just set the bag aside
it'll do its thing
so the jackfruit looks pretty strange
doesn't it but it's very tasty and it
absorbs lots of flavor so what you want
to do is take your jackfruit and start
shredding it with your hands like this
so it looks similar to meat now you'll
see little pods like this these are
edible you can just crush them with your
hand so this is jackfruit and Brian you
definitely want dry fruit and brine or
water not syrup it won't taste right and
it will be too sweet while you're
shredding it up just break it all up
into small small shreds and if you
notice it's too wet just take some paper
towel or a tea towel and Pat it dry this
is actually a pretty good texture it's
dry but there's a little bit of moisture
in
and then if the perfect consistency to
throw in the pan with some other
ingredients so it sort of looks like
fish a little bit fish tacos so once the
peppers have sweated the skin will peel
off like this quite easily and any bits
that don't come off you can just rinse
the pepper under water okay so I just
rinse them off a little bit and then
we're going to open them up take out the
seed you can use a knife and any seed
you can't get to take a knife the back
of a knife and scrape them out again you
can rinse the seeds out under water
there's our nice sliced pepper so you're
going to add some oil to a pan over
medium heat and then you're going to add
in diced onion
[Music]
you're just going to saute these for
about four or five minutes until they're
lightly browned now add some minced
garlic and then the jackfruit you can
break the driver down a little more with
your spoon as well there's any big chunk
okay so saute this for about four
minutes getting the jackfruit a little
bit browned and the garlic cooked then
we're going to add a spice mixture which
is sea salt chili pepper sage and a
little bit of cumin as well as worse
Disher sauce and the sliced peppers so
this only takes one to two minutes just
get it all combined well and soft up and
the moisture werster sure I don't know
how to say it is really helpful in this
recipe because it's got sugar and
acidity and lots of stuff that kind of
like caramelizes around the jackfruit
and gives it a really nice taste then
you're just going to put a lid on this
and turn off the heat while we make this
all mm-hmm so we're making the adobo
cream sauce in a blender with cashews
and if you've ever seen these they're
chipotle peppers in adobo sauce they're
amazing they're so flavorful there's a
few different brands you can get them in
the like ethnic food aisle where the
Asian food and the Mexican food and
Lebanese food is and I know that each
brand is different in terms of spice
level so I add the whole can to this but
if you don't like spice you might want
to reduce the amount or at half taste
your sauce and then add the other half
if it's not spicy enough so add the
cashews to a blender then the peppers
add some water and the juice of one lime
[Music]
so we're almost done now we're just
going to make a really quick slaw that
goes really nice with the jackfruit and
the peppers it's just red cabbage
cilantro and lime juice and then give it
a good toss
[Music]
so just before we assemble I'm going to
show you my little trick for toasting
the tortillas I normally use corn
tortillas for tacos but I really feel
like these are just really nice
with wheat tortillas that you can do
whatever you want if you have a gas
stove well it makes quite a nice toaster
you just throw them on the grill takes
like less than a minute to get nice and
toasty don't burn yourself eat catch it
on fire a little bit all good do not
leave this unattended just do it as you
go I'm just going to do this and then
we'll assemble
[Music]
there they are roasted poblano and jak3
tacos with adobo cream sauce oh my god
they're just beautiful all of the colors
[Music]
this is like one of my most favorite
recipes I've made in a last little while
[Music]
because all the flavors go so well
together hmm
will you watch if I sit me this whole
thing right now hmm I want to eat all
this I'm just going to hurry and wrap
this thing up okay so it is kind of like
a medium to hot recipe I don't even like
spice that much like I'm pretty
sensitive to it and I don't find the
adobo cream sauce that hot and I did end
up putting the whole can of the chipotle
peppers in I think it's a perfect mix
the poblanos really aren't spicy either
they have more of a peppery taste
definitely more flavorful than green
bell peppers so I would really recommend
getting your hands on cebuano peppers
and I hope this has inspired you to try
jackfruit more and more because it's an
amazing magical fruit that looks like
meat I think it tastes like meat tastes
amazing the texture is amazing and it
really all comes down to the preparation
so you do need to add seasonings and
cook it for a decent amount of time so
that it really absorbs everything I love
