I finally got to cook with jackfruit! I have seen so many vegan recipes using jackfruit and had been wanting to cook it for so long! I found it pre spiced and decided to make a jambalaya with it. I loved this meal . . . loved it, loved it, loved it. A little spicy, a little, sweet, and super tasty. I served this with kale chips ❤  I hope one day I get to use the real jackfruit and not a prepackaged one!

*I doubled the recipe*

-Transfer the rice to your slow cooker. Add all of the other ingredients & stir a few times to mix well
