Ingredients
1 (20-ounce) can jackfruit, cored and shredded
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
Pinch of cayenne pepper
½ tsp sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
12 to 14 flour or flour+corn tortillas
¾ cup refried beans
½ cup jack cheese
¼ cup chopped scallions
Extra-virgin olive oil cooking spray

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss shredded jackfruit with olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, pepper, and green chiles on the baking sheet. Spread evenly and bake 15–18 minutes until lightly golden.
- On a new parchment-lined sheet, warm tortillas for 3–5 minutes until pliable.
- Spread refried beans along one edge of each tortilla, top with jackfruit mixture, cheese, and scallions, then roll tightly and place seam-side down.
- Spray generously with cooking spray and bake 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Serve hot with desired toppings.
Notes
- Swap jackfruit for shredded chicken for a meat version.
- Use pepper jack cheese or add jalapeños for extra spice.
- Make vegan by using dairy-free cheese.
- Add scrambled eggs and potatoes for a breakfast twist.
- Use only corn tortillas for a more traditional flavor.
