Directions:

To cook the sloppy joes, just heat a skillet. Then, add the oil, onion, garlic, and jackfruit. Cook until the onions are tender. Use two forks and shred the jackfruit to mimic the look of pulled pork. Then, add the brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until

the sauce is nice and thick and mixed well with the jackfruit.

Then, make the coleslaw. Add the vegan mayo, sugar, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, tequila, and lime juice to a bowl and mix well to make the dressing. Then, pour over the coleslaw mix. You can eat this at room temperature, or if you prefer it to be cold, you can chill it first. Either way, it’s delicious.

Also, I understand some folks run the gambit on how they enjoy their creaminess of a coleslaw. If you like it creamier, add more dressing. Less creamy, add less. That’s why it’s good to make the dressing first; then you can add as much or as little cabbage mixture as you’d like.
