I’m ashamed to admit I’ve been sitting on this recipe for nearly four years. I first started playing around with jackfruit as a replacement for pulled pork when we bought our house in 2018, because our new grocery store had these nice big cans of the stuff. We’ve moved again since then, almost two years ago now, and I have no idea where to find jackfruit around here. It’s such a fun ingredient, though, and I can’t believe this recipe got lost in the shuffle! Pulled pork works just as well if you can’t get or don’t like jackfruit for these BBQ Jackfruit Sweet Potato Nachos. If you’re on the AIP or any other special diet, make sure the guacamole and BBQ sauce you use are safe!
