VEGAN RED ENCHILADAS | Homemade Queso Fresco | Jackfruit “Chicken” Style | Mexican Food

[@ThaliaEatsDonuts]

This processes is amazing, a new generation of Mexican cooks, it’s like having a vegan abuelita.

[@airamcooks]

That has to be the best compliment I have ever gotten! 🥰

[@lnicole2504]

Hands down the best, most authentic vegan enchilada recipe on You Tube. I love everything about this recipe. It's so bomb!

[@loribrooks6736]

I know you made this video 4 years ago BUT holy hell….SO many reasons to love you and this recipe (in order of importance): 1) you have a pitbull 2) vegan 3) you use corn tortillas (not gross unauthentic flour…ewe gross!) 4) you have a pitbull lounging on your couch You have a new subscriber and I haven’t even looked at any of your other videos!! THANK YOU! PS: I am making these today!

tip: leave the almond mixture in the blender and then make the agar mixture and just blend it in by drizzling into the almond slurry.

I made these today. So good, I used mesquite and hickory liquid smoke and Lee and parens Worcestershire sauce to flavor the jackfruit. I did make that make the fresco cheese but couldn’t wait it was too good! Thank you, I would have never ventured to make these. I will make them again!

It is also good character to say where you got the recipe(s) & sources from. 🙂 So far I've seen 2 of your videos and both have my work in it, word by word. It is good integrity to share your sources.

Instead of boiling the jackfruit, can it be done in the instant pot? And if so, how long would you suggest? And

[@JaneDoe-em7zi]

Hi Airam you said you were open to suggestions, so I would love it if you would show us how to prepare FRESH Jackfruit to taste like chicken or beef please?

[@airamcooks]

Yes, funny enough I thought you can only do can jackfruit but I’ve recently seen that the jackfruit can be utilized as meat but not the sweet fruit part. Like the rind almost??? I will have to experiment!

[@JaneDoe-em7zi]

@@airamcooks yes please!! 🤗

[@jijimaini9674]

You will have to use tender jackfruit which is not sweet and yellow yet, that is the one that is canned and sold and used as meat substitute by vegans. They are usually smaller in size

skippy Since the jackfruit has been boiled & is super soft I recommend cooking with the spices until desired texture 💓 I like mine a little brown & crisp!

[@Uhitsslizzz]

So I followed ur recipe and I substituted the agar agar with xanthan gum but it didn’t work. I left it overnight and it’s still very watery

[@airamcooks]

I’m sorry to hear that! 🥲 You definitely ideally need agar powder for this recipe because it’s more of a hardener & xanthan just emulsifies

[@DagmarDipotino-pu9mx]

Raw almonds?

[@Red-gy9gx]

See i know about using jackfruit in water vs brine , but the store i usually go to only had the one in brine , for about a month and different store same problem, 😭🤷🏽🧐 so i said oh well , i need jackfruit

[@luisestevez9547]

Girl my cheese came out creamy 😭 any idea why? I didn’t have tablespoon measurements so I just eyeballed & I did use tapioca starch to replace the cornflour so that could be why

[@mtatts08]

Where do you get your vegan chicken broth

[@airamcooks]

I use corrington vegan chicken powder! I’ve purchased it on Amazon & in person, Nobhill or Walmart :) I also love better than bouillon vegan chicken base, it’s more of a paste that you make into broth but it’s more rare so they have a vegetable one which is just as great! It can be found at nearly all stores by the veg stock 💓

[@Evelynmartinez22]

Can use jackfruit in water

[@airamcooks]

Yes 🥰 as long as it’s not jackfruit in syrup! If its in water it might not need the boiling method as much! Because its not brine-y!

[@leticiamartinez7581]

Ponlo en español porfavor

[@yarumileon6200]

Question why you gotta rinse after an hour and boil again why can’t I just boil 3 hours straight?..

[@airamcooks]

Since I use jackfruit in brine & the goal is to make it as tender & neutral tasting as possible, I rerinse because the first hour extracts a lot of that sour brine! The water even becomes a dullish pink tone. (After the first hour) The second one is to tenderize. So the jackfruit absorbs all that new flavor ❤️ I hope this makes sense!

Airam’s Vegan Vida last question lol. Does boiling it for so long take away any nutritional value?

[@claudiaparra6860]

You didn’t use any nutritional yeast so I’m wondering if it has a cheese flavor to it?

[@airamcooks]

Queso fresco has a different cheese flavor, more like a ricotta ish vibe. This recipe is mimicking traditional queso fresco! Pretty plain, salty & a tiny bit tart. This recipe doesn’t require nutritional yeast because it adds to much of an unami-strong cheese taste that works better in other cheeses! But nutritional yeast is great in other recipes 💕💕😊

[@airamcooks]

I now recommend the Native Forest jackfruit! It can be used straight from the can, no boiling❤️

[@Skoben2000]

I prefer Jackfruit packed in water rather than brine. The jackfruit packed in brine to me smells and tastes odd. Almost like formadehyde and its so time consuming getting rid of the very odd taste.

[@vilahernandez4311]

You can also buy jackfruit in water and avoid that brine taste

[@airamcooks]

I know! I learned that later in my youtube videos, lol such a life saver!

[@setapartforHim]

Can I use cashews instead of almonds? Most almonds are toxic and are not good for the environment because they waste so much water. One of the reasons California is in drought because almonds are made here. Unfortunately..

[@airamcooks]

Yeah, it would just taste a tad different. Maybe more creamy.
