Next, shred your jackfruit and heat a skillet with a drizzle of oil.

Add in your minced shallot. and stir for 1-2 minutes. Next, add your jackfruit and let it cook down and get a little crispy. Add your onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper and bbq sauce. Mix well for 10 minutes.

Add in your creamer and mix until all the liquid is absorbed and the jackfruit is saucy and cooked through.

Toast your buns, top with your bbq jackfruit, slaw, cilantro, cover and serve!
