Jackfruit Chilli

We love a spicy jackfruit chilli with all the sides – guacamole? Check. Sour 'cream'? Check. Corn chips? Check. Go all out for chilli night!

This is a pretty simple recipe that packs loads of flavour, protein and goodness.

Jackfruit is so popular right now – we've had a lot of people ask us where to get it from on Instagram. We either go to an Asian supermarket, order in bulk from Amazon or Ocado. Just make sure you get young jackfruit in brine or water – not syrup.
