🌮 What’s in the Birria?

Our plant-based birria is made with jackfruit, a tropical fruit known for its meaty texture and ability to soak up bold, smoky, and savory flavors. We slow-cook it in a rich blend of chiles, spices, and seasonings inspired by the beloved Mexican birria stew served at our award-winning restaurants.

Jackfruit is the perfect meat alternative — not only is it soy-free and gluten-free, but it’s also high in fiber, low in fat, and rich in antioxidants. Plus, it’s more sustainable to produce than animal-based proteins, making it a win for your taste buds and the planet.

🥢 Ingredients:

• 1 pouch Tacotarian at Home Jackfruit Birria

• Egg roll wrappers (find plant-based ones at your local grocer)

• Vegan cheese (any melty variety works)

• Neutral oil for frying (or air fryer option)

🔥 Instructions:

1. Assemble the egg rolls
   Lay out one egg roll wrapper. Add 1 spoonful of birria and a small handful of shredded vegan cheese.

2. Roll & seal
   Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edge with a dab of water.

3. Cook until crispy

   • Fried version: Heat oil in a skillet and fry each egg roll for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crunchy.

   • Air fryer version: Spray or brush with oil and air fry at 380°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.

4. Serve
   Serve hot with dipping sauces like chipotle aioli, salsa roja, or guacamole.

💡 Why Jackfruit Makes This Recipe Better

Jackfruit mimics the texture of pulled meat, making it an ideal base for plant-based birria recipes. It absorbs flavor like a sponge, which is why our birria tastes slow-cooked and authentic — minus the meat. Even better? Jackfruit is high in potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. It’s a great alternative for people avoiding processed meats or looking for low-fat options.

It’s also naturally cholesterol-free and supports digestive health, making this a guilt-free comfort food you’ll come back to again and again.
