Shredded Jackfruit Vegan Tamales (+ Gluten Free!)

Okay well it was December 23rd and that counts right?? I got a little sick over here on our Christmas trip, but have no fear- I’m determined to get these recipes shared still for those asking what happened 😅🤍!

And this one was so so special for me to make. Tamales feel like total Christmas comfort food and since they are widely made and enjoyed in many family’s on Christmas Eve, it felt like just the right time to showcase them. There are so many versions and variations of Tamales, 🫔 so I kept it pretty simple swapping shredded chicken for shredded green jackfruit to make these completely plant based. If you are making them, these are best made with multiple people and an assembly line of sorts in your kitchen, or you can go it alone and plan for a few hours of cooking. Which can be done while watching a holiday movie should you choose (I certainly did!).

Let me see all the photos when you make it by tagging me! 😌
