Combining a Mexican classic with Asian flavours, these delicious Teriyaki Jackfruit Burritos are the ultimate fusion. Loaded with Amazonia Jackfruit, an awesome plant-based substitute for pulled pork, this burrito is perfect for any meal of the day.

Jackfruit is tender, ‘meaty’ and with a subtle taste which goes down a treat marinated in whichever flavours you love best! Amazonia have three pre-marinated flavours, so you can whip up a burrito in no time at all. Our picks are the BBQ and Teriyaki (if you hadn’t already guessed!).

We encourage you to get creative with your fillings… that’s the beauty of burritos! A traditional Mexican Burrito is usually loaded with savoury fillings such as meat, cooked beans, vegetables and condiments but since this one has an Asian twist, we’ve filled ours with brown rice and spinach, letting the flavours in the Teriyaki jackfruit be the hero. Some crunchy cabbage or creamy guacamole wouldn’t go astray.

Jackfruit has become popular over recent years, especially amongst vegans or those who prefer to follow a plant based diet. Nutritionally, jackfruit is low in calories and higher in protein than most fruits. Jackfruit contains an array of essential nutrients, including Vitamins A,B1, B2,B3 and C!
