How to Make Breadfruit Tacos

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Peel the green breadfruit using a knife, cutting away from you due to its hardness.

Slice the breadfruit into thin but not too thin slices for tacos.

Prepare a large bowl with warm water and add pink salt to soak the breadfruit slices.

Soak the breadfruit slices in the salt water to help soften them, flipping to ensure both sides are soaked.

Remove the breadfruit from the water and dab it dry with paper towels to prevent frying wet breadfruit.

Use toothpicks to attach the sides of the breadfruit slices together to form taco shells.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, ensuring it's hot enough to fry but not too hot.

Shallow fry the breadfruit taco shells, using a bamboo spoon to help keep them upright while frying.

Remove the toothpicks once the breadfruit is frying to allow oil to reach the inside.

Fry until the shells are flexible, flipping them to avoid over-frying on one side and making them too crispy.

Prepare a raw cabbage salad, sweet fried plantains, and a protein made from soursop to fill the tacos.
