Why Nature’s Charm Sriracha Jackfruit Is a Game-Changer

Jackfruit has become a superstar in the plant-based world for its ability to mimic shredded meat, but let’s be honest—it’s not the quickest ingredient to prepare. Normally, you’d need to season, marinate, and cook jackfruit to get it just right. Nature’s Charm has taken all the work out of the process by offering pre-cooked and perfectly seasoned Sriracha Jackfruit. With this product, you’re just minutes away from a meal that’s both flavorful and satisfying.

Buffalo Jackfruit Quesadillas Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can of Nature’s Charm Sriracha Jackfruit
• 2 Tbsp buffalo sauce
• 2 Tbsp sliced green onions
• 1 Tbsp vegan mayo (optional)
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp vegan butter, divided
• 1 1/4 cups shredded vegan cheddar or mozzarella, divided
• 4 medium flour tortillas

Instructions:

1. Cook the Jackfruit:
   Heat a pan over medium heat and add the Sriracha Jackfruit. Use two forks to shred the jackfruit while cooking. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.
2. Mix the Filling:
   In a large bowl, combine the shredded jackfruit with buffalo sauce, green onions, vegan mayo (optional for added creaminess), onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. Prepare the Quesadillas:
   Working in batches of two, melt ½ tablespoon of vegan butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Assemble the Layers:
   Place one tortilla in the skillet and layer it with ¼ cup of shredded vegan cheese, ½ cup of the jackfruit mixture, and another ¼ cup of cheese. Top it with a second tortilla.
5. Cook the Quesadillas:
   Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. Serve:
   Slice into quarters and serve with your favorite plant-based dips like vegan sour cream, guacamole, or vegan ranch.
