Instructions
If your jackfruit is preserved in brine then rinse it in cold water and dry before using. Cut away the hard, woody centres. Place the rest in a bowl.
Add the BBQ sauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, chipotle paste and spices and mix together.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onions and pepper over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the jackfruit and marinade and cook over medium heat, stirring to coat.
Continue cooking for 10 minutes and add the pineapple juice once the pan gets a little dry. Continue to cook until the jackfruit softens and use two forks to shred it.
Heat a griddle pan as hot as it will go and brush with a little oil. Place the pineapple rings on the hot griddle and leave undisturbed for a couple of minutes. Check the underside lifting an edge with tongs and flip once griddle lines appear. Cook on the other side for a further 3-4 minutes, until caramelised.
Stir some fresh coriander into the jackfruit and serve over small tortillas topped with the grilled pineapple and fresh chilli.
