MKES 6 SANDWICHES (3 CUPS FILLING 2 CUPS SLAW)
Jackfruit has a meaty texture that soaks up flavors from an easy homemade barbecue sauce to make this classic-style sandwich.
Shredded broccoli and mashed avocado make for a creamy, crunchy slaw.
Note: Canned jackfruit can be full of sodium. Check labels and select the brand with the lowest amount of sodium, or look for frozen jackfruit and thaw before using.
