Ingredients

  • 275 g sweet potato - peeled and cut into wedges
  • 560 g tin of young jackfruit - drained weight 250g, drained and rinsed
  • 3 teaspoons jerk seasoning
  • 400 g kidney beans - 1 tin, drained weight 250g
  • 1 baby gem lettuce - roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons vegan mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 6 roti or paratha roti
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • ½ tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5/190c.
  • Toss the sweet potato wedges in the olive oil with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Optionally, omit the oil or use an oil spray instead, for a low oil or no oil option.

  • Put the wedges on a baking tray and chuck in the oven for 15 minutes - turn them halfway through.
  • While the wedges are in the oven, heat up a splash of olive oil in a large pan and then add the jackfruit.
    560 g tin of young jackfruit
  • Coat with the jerk seasoning. Cook for around 25 minutes, stirring to prevent it from sticking.
    3 teaspoons jerk seasoning
  • Grab a couple of forks and gently pull apart the jackfruit until it's shredded. If it's a bit tough still, give it a couple more minutes to soften up before you pull it apart.
  • Add the kidney beans to the jackfruit and gently heat for a couple of minutes while stirring. Give it a quick taste and add more jerk seasoning if needed.
    400 g kidney beans
  • In a small bowl, mix the mayo with the lime juice and a good helping of black pepper.
    3 tablespoons vegan mayo, 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • When everything is ready, start putting the wraps together - add a good dollop of mayo, a couple of sweet potato wedges, ⅙ of the jackfruit mix and a handful of lettuce to each roti and wrap them up like a burrito.

  • Take each roti and layer with the fillings. Start with a bit of the lime mayo, then add the sweet potato wedges, followed by the jackfruit and kidney beans.

Notes

  • It will last a five days in airtight containers in the fridge. 
  • We don't add salt and pepper to the jackfuit as jerk seasoning contains enough of both.
  • Try swapping kidney beans for black beans or black eyed beans.
  • Low carb? No problem. Try serving it as a bowl – with cauliflower rice and salad.
  • Make sure to buy young jackfruit in brine or water! Fully ripe jackfruit is sweet and often sold in syrup.
  • We’re not claiming this is a traditional ‘jerk’ recipe, but instead is inspired by the jerk seasoning.
