tree fruit, has a chewy texture and neutral flavor.

flexible component that may be used in a wide range of cuisines.

Jackfruit Carnitas Pizza: Instructions

Preheat
the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare
the spice mixture: In a small bowl, combine all of the spices, whisk, and set
away.

To
make the veggie sauté, cook the onions, peppers, and mushrooms in a large
stovetop saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes, or
until the onions become translucent.

Reduce
the heat to medium and stir in the jackfruit, lime juice, and tamari. Cook for
another minute, stirring constantly.

Combine
the spices and vegetable broth in a mixing bowl. Bring to a boil, then reduce
to a low heat, cover 34 percent of the way, and cook until all of the liquid is
absorbed, about 5-7 minutes. (After about 3 minutes, stir and check the amount
of liquid remaining.)

Meanwhile,
line a baking sheet with tortillas.

Assemble
the pizza as follows: When the veggie sauté is done, split it between the two
tortillas and spread it equally on top.

Distribute
the pineapple, red onion, and (if using) jalapeo amongst the two pizzas.

Bake
for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy on the edges.
