  • 3 Dried California Chilies
  • 3 Dried Arbol Chilies
  • 1 Onion, quartered
  • 1 Carrot, cut into large sections

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried chilies in hot water for 15–20 minutes until softened.

  5. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until jackfruit is tender and flavors are infused.

  7. Heat plant-based butter in a pan and crisp the tacos with jackfruit filling.
  8. Serve with a small bowl of the birria broth for dipping.
