In honor of the long-awaited return of the Disney California Adventure Food &
Wine Festival, here is the recipe for one of the most popular items from festivals
of the past. This vegan fusion recipe from the vault is fun to prepare at home and
pairs perfectly with a jalapeño margarita.

DIRECTIONS (Serves 6):

FOR MARINATED JACKFRUIT:
1. Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and brown sugar in a small bowl until
sugar dissolves.

2. Place jackfruit in a large bowl and cover with marinade. Refrigerate for at least
three hours or overnight.

FOR PICKLED VEGETABLES:
1. Whisk water, vinegar, salt and sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.

2. Add radish, carrots, jalapeño and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

FOR CREMA:
1. Preheat broiler to high. Place jalapeño on baking sheet and broil, turning every
2 minutes, until pepper begins to blister. Place in a plastic bag for 5 minutes.
Remove skin and seeds, then finely chop.

2. Combine jalapeño, sour cream, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix with
an immersion blender until smooth and light green in color.

3. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TO SERVE:
1. Drain marinated jackfruit. Place jackfruit in a medium saucepan and cook over
medium heat for 8 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 165°F. Drain any
excess juices.

2. Drain pickled vegetables.

3. Place tortilla chips on a large platter. Top with marinated jackfruit and pickled
vegetables.

4. Drizzle crema and garnish with cilantro.

COOK’S NOTES: Canned jackfruit can be used in place of frozen jackfruit. Make
sure to rinse and drain canned jackfruit before marinating. Always use caution
when handling sharp objects and hot contents. Please supervise children who are
helping or nearby. This recipe has been converted from a larger quantity in the
restaurant kitchens. The flavor profile may vary from the restaurant’s version.
