Authentic vegetarian tacos become reality with canned jackfruit. This large tropical fruit is deceptively meat-like in texture, with a sweet, impressionable flavor. It takes on a warm, smoky taco taste in this recipe. Grill it. Shred it. And pile it into tortillas to be topped with onion, cilantro, sour cream and the upfront heat of a Cider Pepper Syrup.

For the Cider Pepper Syrup, mix all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Let stand at least 4 hours or overnight. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the Jackfruit Tacos, mix jackfruit, coconut sugar, lime juice, oil, smoked paprika, garlic salt, white pepper and cinnamon in large bowl. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Grill marinated jackfruit and tortillas quickly over high heat until grill marks appear. Shred or cut jackfruit into thin strips.
To serve, place jackfruit on tortillas. Top with diced onion, sour cream and cilantro. Drizzle with the Cider Pepper Syrup.
