1 medium white onion, finely diced
1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium roma tomatoes, cored and finely diced
1 tsp dried oregano (preferably mexican oregano)
½ tsp ground cumin

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the tortilla strips with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Pat the drained jackfruit dry with paper towels, then use your fingers or two forks to pull the pieces apart into shreds, discarding any tough core pieces.
