📖 Instructions

1. Prep the Jackfruit: Open the cans of jackfruit, drain, and rinse thoroughly. This gets rid of that canned taste. Use your hands to shred the jackfruit into smaller pieces, discarding any tough core pieces. You want it to look like pulled pork!
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Throw in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Don't burn the garlic!
3. Spice It Up: Add smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to coat the veggies, releasing all those awesome flavors. Cook for about a minute to toast the spices.
4. Simmer the Jackfruit: Add the shredded jackfruit and vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the jackfruit is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Mash and Thicken: Using a potato masher or fork, lightly mash some of the jackfruit to create a meatier texture. If there's still too much liquid, remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes until it thickens. This is the secret to getting that 'pulled' texture!
6. Make the Beer Cheese: While the jackfruit simmers, get started on the beer cheese. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
7. Add Beer and Milk: Slowly pour in the beer, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Then, gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
8. Cheese Time: Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick. Keep warm until ready to serve. If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk.
9. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, until pliable. This prevents them from cracking when you fill them.
10. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the jackfruit mixture, top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and a generous drizzle of beer cheese. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Now its ready to eat!
11. Serve Immediately: Serve your Czech Jackfruit Tacos right away while the beer cheese is warm and the tortillas are soft. Enjoy this explosion of flavors!
