Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Start by draining your jackfruit and rinsing well. Wrap it in a clean dish towel and squeeze out all of the excess moisture. Use your hands to pull apart and shred the jackfruit and transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining jackfruit ingredients and use a fork to stir to combine and coat. Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until the edges are nice and charred.
Meanwhile, prepare the rice by combining the rice, water and sea salt and cooking simmering, covered for 15 minutes. Add in the lime zest and cilantro and stir to combine.
Prepare the sauce by adding the peppers and yogurt to a blender and pureeing until smooth and creamy. For a spicier sauce, add more peppers, for a more mild sauce, add more yogurt.
Assemble the burrito by layering all the ingredients in the middle of a large tortilla. Carefully roll up tightly, slice in half, and enjoy dipped in the sauce!
