Dosing Tips for Your Infused Jackfruit Tacos
- Drizzle a measured amount of cannabis oil over finished dishes rather than cooking with it for the most accurate dosing.
- Vegan savory dishes often use coconut oil or olive oil as the primary fat, both of which infuse well with cannabis.
- Keep servings at 5-10 mg. Plant-based meals may digest slightly faster due to higher fiber content.
- Nutritional yeast, miso, and tamari add umami depth that pairs well with and masks the herbal cannabis flavor.
- Mix infused oil into the jackfruit filling while cooking and weigh the filling per taco for consistent dosing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sauteing vegetables in cannabis oil at high heat wastes THC. Cook with regular oil and add cannabis oil when plating.
- Not accounting for the additional calories and fat from cannabis oil when planning a healthy vegan meal.
- Assuming cannabis olive oil tastes the same as regular olive oil. It has an herbal, slightly bitter note that needs to be balanced.
- Under-seasoning. Vegan savory dishes need bold flavors, and this is doubly true when cannabis is involved.
How to Store Infused Jackfruit Tacos
- Vegan cannabis savory dishes store 3-5 days refrigerated. The plant-based ingredients generally keep well.
- Cannabis-infused tahini, pesto, and other vegan sauces freeze beautifully for 2-3 months.
- Store cannabis olive oil in a dark glass bottle in a cool cupboard for up to 3 months.
- Store the seasoned jackfruit filling in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat and assemble tacos fresh.
Variations & Ideas
- Stir cannabis coconut oil into a Thai or Indian curry for a natural fat pairing that masks cannabis flavor entirely.
- Make cannabis-infused chimichurri with cannabis olive oil, parsley, garlic, and vinegar for a versatile sauce.
- Blend cannabis oil into vegan mac and cheese sauce made from cashews and nutritional yeast.
- Top with a pineapple-jalapeno slaw for a sweet-heat contrast that brightens the smoky jackfruit.
