VEGAN TAMALES | “Pork” Chile Rojo (Jackfruit), Queso con Rajas | Mexican food

* HUGE TIP: You can cut the process in less than half the time by NOT using jackfruit in brine! Instead use jackfruit in water that just needs a good rinsing and break it up. (seeds an all! Similar to the video but without the boiling method) I also talked about it in my instagram highlights the difference of jackfruit in brine VS in water! I’ll link it here! 💖💖
