Instructions
Prepare the Jackfruit
Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly. Using your hands or two forks, shred the jackfruit pieces to resemble pulled meat, discarding any hard core pieces.
Saute Aromatics
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil or water. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic and smoked paprika and cook for 1 more minute.
Simmer the Jackfruit
Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and pour in the BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat and cook over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the jackfruit is tender and caramelized.
Assemble and Serve
Pile generous portions of the BBQ jackfruit onto toasted vegan buns and top with coleslaw mix. Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
