To prepare the filling

• 1. Place the jackfruit in a saucepan and add enough water to cover. Boil for 15 minutes.
• 2. Drain the jackfruit, rinse with cool water, and shred the jackfruit completely with your hands.
• 3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the jackfruit, garlic powder, turmeric, and cumin. Add a little water or vegetable broth, as needed, to prevent the ingredients from sticking, and sauté for 5 minutes. When finished, remove from heat.
• 4. Meanwhile, combine the onion and cilantro in a bowl.
• 5. In a separate container, add the plant-based mayonnaise, white vinegar, and avocado.
• 6. Mash the avocado with a fork until it becomes pureed and incorporated well with the mayonnaise.
• 7. Combine the three elements of the filling: the onion and chopped cilantro mixture, the mashed avocado mixture, and the sautéed jackfruit. Mix well.
