Who doesn’t love tacos?
This is one of my favorite versions to date!
Admittedly, I’ve never been a huge fan of jackfruit, but I think when you pair it with some mushrooms, and combine them with a delicious homemade BBQ sauce, it is going to be very difficult to NOT have a crowd pleaser on your hands!
If you’re looking to impress, then look no further!
