A delicious and healthy recipe for vegetarian BBQ jackfruit tacos. These tacos are perfect for summer and taste great with a cold margarita! We are entering one of my very favorite seasons.

Supporting local: my favorite Omaha restaurants and shops
I’ve called Omaha home for the last five years now. That both feels like the blink of an eye and a lifetime. When I moved here, I was 22 years old. I had just graduated college and was married two weeks prior. The only time I had been to the Midwest before I moved here… [Read More]
