Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Roast Roma tomato over a gas burner. Core tomato and cut into 8 pieces; set aside.

Step 3

Remove stems and seeds from all chile peppers. Mince peppers and place in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vegetable broth, reduce heat to low, and cook for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Use a slotted spoon to transfer peppers to a blender. Add fire-roasted tomato, onion, garlic, vegetable base, cider vinegar, salt, and a small amount of broth to the blender. Pulse, adding more broth as necessary, to desired consistency. Reserve remaining broth for the filling.

Step 5

Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil for filling in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add mushroom to the skillet, adding more oil if necessary; cook and stir until juicy and tender, about 5 minutes. Add tamari and liquid smoke, then remove and add to the onion mixture.

Step 7

Add more oil to the skillet. Add jackfruit, pollo asada seasoning, paprika, cumin, sazon seasoning, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Cook and stir, shredding the jackfruit as it cooks, until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add onion mixture along with some reserved broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and steam for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, brush tortillas with more peanut oil and fry in a skillet.

Step 9

Stuff each tortilla with filling and roll up. Place in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Top with some sauce, reserving some for serving. Sprinkle with vegan cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Top with remaining sauce.
