Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6 Add the basmati rice and 250ml [500ml] cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving

Step 2

Meanwhile, boil half a kettle Drain the jackfruit and tear into small, bite-sized pieces

Step 3

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Step 4

Once hot, add the torn jackfruit with the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), agave nectar, soy sauce and pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 min

Step 5

Add the tomato paste with 100ml [150ml] boiled water and cook for 3-4 min further or until thickened to a pulled pork consistency

Step 6

Whilst the jackfruit is cooking, chop the little gem lettuce[s] roughly

Step 7

Combine the free-from mayo with the juice of 1/2 [1] lime and season with a pinch of salt

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, stir the drained black beans through the rice and season with a pinch of salt – this is your beany rice Once the jackfruit is almost done, add the large tortillas to a tray and put the tray in the oven for 1-2 min or until warmed through

Step 9

Top each warmed tortilla with the beany rice, pulled jackfruit, shredded lettuce and lime mayo (the filling should be just off of the centre of the tortilla!)

Step 10

Tip: Go light on the filling on your first one so that you don't overfill the burritos!

Step 11

To make the perfect burrito, fold the sides of each tortilla in and wrap the tortilla over the filling, tucking it in tightly

Step 12

Roll the tortilla until you're left with a burrito – these are your pulled jackfruit burritos

Step 13

Use sheets of tin foil to hold everything together

Step 14

Cut the remaining lime into wedges

Step 15

Serve the pulled jackfruit burritos and garnish with a lime wedge
