  • Juice of one medium lime
  • ½ cup cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

For the Mango & Sweet Corn Salsa

For the Jackfruit Tacos

  • Melt coconut oil in large skillet or wok. Add onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent. Add habenero pepper and continue to saute.

Notes

Warning: Be very careful when handling habanero chili peppers. They are one of the hottest peppers in the world. Either wear latex gloves when you cut them or rub olive oil on your hands before cutting them to avoid getting the oil on your skin. After you cut them immediately wash your hands.
