Vegan Jackfruit Hard Tacos with Apple-Jicama Slaw

These vegan tacos get a double-dose of smoky flavor from canned chipotles en adobo and smoked paprika. You can substitute ½ teaspoon chipotle powder if you don’t have adobo, or skip it entirely. You can even substitute your favorite taco seasoning for all the spices (make sure to adjust the taste for salt). This recipe makes more slaw than you can fit in the tacos, all the better for passing it around as a side. Canned jackfruit can be found online or at Asian or health food stores. Be sure not to use jackfruit in syrup or brine.
