1
Heat the oil in a pan over a medium setting. Fry the onion and garlic for 8-10 mins until soft. Add the Cajun seasoning to the pan and fry for a further 2 mins. Add the tomatoes, sugar, vinegar and stock; simmer uncovered for 20 mins.

3
Add the jackfruit to the pan and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins, until thick and glossy. Season with black pepper then use 2 forks to 'pull' the jackfruit into shreds.
4
Mash the avocado with the lime zest and juice until smooth and creamy.

Spread the avocado onto the burger bun bases and top with the jackfruit, salsa and lettuce. Add the bun tops and serve with the Cajun sweet potato wedges, if using.
