Filling

• 1 small can of diced green chilies
• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
• ½ can drained and rinsed black beans
• ½ pound shredded Pepper Jack cheese

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Drain and rinse the jackfruit, and shred chunks until they resemble pulled meat. Mix ingredients garlic through chili power with jackfruit, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes. The jackfruit will turn darker and become softer when it is done.
