Method

Prep 13 min · Cook 90 min

  1. 1Place a large pot of water to boil, add breadfruit, and let it cook for around 30 minutes
  2. 2Remove breadfruit from pot and let it cool for a few minutes
  3. 3Hold the breadfruit firmly and using a large sharp knife slice into thin rounds
  4. 4Slice as many as you need
  5. 5Then cut off skin and core (You may leave the core on if you like)
  6. 6Gently fold to shape like a taco shell, use two toothpicks to hold it in place.
  7. 7Place on a large plate or tray and repeat this process for all breadfruit slices
  8. 8Heat oil for deep frying, using a pair of tongs submerge breadfruit slices in pan,
  9. 9You can guide slices with tongs if you need to
  10. 10You can leave the small toothpicks in the taco shells and remove them after they're cooked. Or, you can do like I did. If your'e using larger toothpicks, you may need to remove them safely. Be very careful as you need to adjust it in the hot oil.
  11. 11Remove when golden brown
  12. 12Set over tissue paper
  13. 13Repeat this for the rest of the shells
  14. 14Stuff the shell with your favorite filling. I chose codfish/ salt fish
