You\u2019re probably wondering why in the world I am making taco shells. That dish is unrelated to the Haitian cuisine.<\/p>\n

Well for starters, who doesn\u2019t love tacos?<\/h5>\n

Truth is, I had been eyeing veritab taco shells on social media for a while. But I could never figure out how it was done. Until I took matters into my own hands and prepared them myself.<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised. They make the perfect crunchy veritab<\/a> taco shells that you can fill up with your favorite taco toppings. I am sure you will love making these.<\/p>\n

Fair warning, I cannot guarantee that this method is the one the pros use. But I use it myself and it definitely works. Sure, you will lose a few shells here and there as some of them crack or close in but it\u2019s still a culinary adventure worth having.<\/p>\n

Plus, I am sure you\u2019ve had your fair share of broken crispy taco shells before. These are no different. They\u2019re as crispy and tasty, except that they\u2019re made with breadfruit instead of the typical corn.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

    1. \n

      Peel the breadfruit and slice it thinly into circles\"These<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n

      Dip each slice into some boiling salted water<\/h4>\n

      This step makes it easier to fold the breadfruit slices<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Fold those circles in two and hold them with toothpicks\"\"<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
    4. \n

      Drop your folded circles into sizzling hot oil until they turn golden<\/h4>\n

      You may have to use tongues to hold some of them together or keep them from collapsing.<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      Once your shells are crispy, take them out of the oil, drain the excess oil and let them cool\"These<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
    6. \n

      To remove the toothpicks, simply turn them in a circular motion<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
    7. \n

      Stuff your veritab taco shells with your favorite taco fillings<\/h4>\n

      I filled mine with pulled pork meat griot-style and cashew chicken. My toppings included Haitian pikliz, a mango salsa, brightened shallots, feta cheese and sour cream.\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
