Heat oven to Mark 6/200C/180C fan. Line a baking tray with Bacofoil Non-Stick Foil.

Using your hands squeeze out excess liquid from the jackfruit, a few chunks at a time. Place on the baking tray, then crush lightly with a fork to shred. Add the onion and drizzle with oil. Toss well and bake for 15 mins.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together maple syrup, cajun spice, paprika, garlic, tomato puree, vinegar and soy sauce to make the sauce. Remove jackfruit from oven, mix with the sauce and cook for a further 15 minutes.

For the slaw, mix all ingredients together, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, lightly toast the bread rolls, top with a little lettuce, tomato and slaw, pile on the jackfruit, add a drizzle of chilli sauce and jalapeños to taste, add the roll lid and serve.
