2 tablespoons oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon chili powder

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.
Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the jackfruit, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and liquid smoke, and mix well. Add the vegetable broth, cover, and cook for 5-8 minutes, until liquid has reduced and it has cooked down.
