Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 oz) young green jackfruit in water or brine, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your preferred brand)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 mini burger buns
- 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the aroma to fill the air.
- Introduce the drained jackfruit to the skillet, using a fork or spoon to shred it into smaller pieces.
- Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook this mixture for 5-7 minutes, letting the jackfruit soak up all those delicious spices.
- Pour in your favorite BBQ sauce and stir everything together. Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the jackfruit is simmering, prepare the creamy avocado slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green and red cabbage.
- In another bowl, blend the mashed avocado with lime juice, salt, and black pepper until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Gently fold the avocado mixture into the cabbage until everything is well incorporated.
- To put together the sliders, take each mini burger bun and generously fill it with the BBQ jackfruit mixture. Top it off with a hearty scoop of the creamy avocado slaw.
- Serve these delightful sliders right away for the best experience.
Notes
- For an extra spicy flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the jackfruit mixture.
- For a lighter option, swap the mini burger buns for crisp lettuce wraps.
