These pulled jackfruit and magic mushroom tacos offer a creative twist on tacos. These tacos feature tender, shredded jackfruit with sautéed psilocybin mushrooms for a unique flavor profile.
Originating from Southeast Asia, jackfruit has a texture similar to meat when cooked. It's commonly used as a vegan alternative to pulled pork. It's also low in calories but rich in fiber making it a healthy and nutritious choice. The jackfruit is perfectly seasoned with a blend of spices like cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika adding undertones and mild spiciness to the dish.
It's important to note that the magic mushrooms used in this recipe contain psilocybin – a compound that can induce altered states of consciousness. Consuming psilocybin mushrooms carries health and ethical considerations and should only be done under professional supervision or where it is legally permitted. When combined with the hearty jackfruit, savory mushrooms and fresh toppings of your choice these tacos create an experience suitable, for any occasion.
