This week, we put some serious thought into what we like to eat each week, and came up pasta, tacos and burgers. Many of us have these meals in our our weekly rotation, but we get stuck making the same ones over and over. |

Mushroom and Swiss Burgers We bring bistro flavors together—caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms and melted cheese, for our mouthwatering Mushroom and Swiss Burgers. The burgers themselves are packed with flavor, and cooked in a hot pan, so they develop a nice crust. And, when we pop them onto toasty buns, smother them in our tangy Swiss Cheese Sauce, add all the fixings, plus some peppery arugula, it’s next level deliciousness. |

Jackfruit Carnitas Tostadas For our Tostadas, we first make Carnitas using jackfruit, an exotic tropical fruit that looks and tastes like shredded meat when it’s cooked. As it browns in the pan, the jackfruit develops a nice golden brown crust, and transforms into a super tasty plant-powered Tostada filling! We keep our Tostadas simple, so the flavor of our delicious Carnitas can really stand out. We top our them with a sprinkling of chopped red onion, cilantro, a dollop of Guacamole and a drizzle of our Cashew Sour Cream, to cool things off. It’s also fun to experiment with all of your favorite toppings—shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, jalapeños slices, salsa, sliced green onions. This is a great weeknight meal, because the Carnitas come together in 20 minutes! |

Jackfruit Carnitas If you like Mexican food, you’re probably familiar with carnitas, or “little meats”—a Mexican dish that is traditionally made with shredded pork. For our Carnitas, we replace the pork with jackfruit, an exotic tropical fruit with a stringy texture that actually resembles shredded meat. Jackfruit is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and really soaks up the flavor of sautéed onions and spices. Our plant-powered version of Carnitas is incredibly delicious—tender, with crispy edges, and super flavorful! It’s amazing as a taco filling, rolled into burritos, or piled high on top of crispy tostadas. |
