Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can green jackfruit I like to get the kind that is pre-sliced into wedges
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 vegan cream cheese package
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon parsley

Method
 

  1. Place jackfruit & chickpeas in a baking dish.
  2. Smash with a potato masher or a fork. So jackfruit separates into a shredded texture.
  3. Add in sliced bell peppers.
  4. Drizzle buffalo sauce over everything.
  5. Add in dry spices.
  6. Mix well.
  7. Make space in the center of mixture and place cream cheese in the middle.
  8. Push buffalo mixture back around the cream cheese so the cheese is surrounded.
  9. Bake in at 375 degrees F° for 20 - 25 min.
  10. Take out of oven and mix everything together.
  11. Put filling in toasted and buttered buns with crunchy lettuce and fresh tomato slices.

Notes

  • I like to serve this on toasted buns - Butter the inside of your bun and toast it in a hot pan for delicious, crispy, buttery buns! 
  • Sprinkle fresh chopped chives on top for some extra flavor and color.
  • This filing is also killer in burritos or tacos. Let me know how you end up using it!
