Use a plastic pot with drainage holes so that water can easily flow out into the ground. Fill the pot with a rich absorbent potting soil, preferably one with a combination of sand, perlite and organic compost. The ideal soil will be light and fast-draining.  When using potting mix, always wear gardening gloves and ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area.  Premixed potting soil can be purchased at gardening stores, online, or you can make your own organic soil. Sow the seeds by spacing them evenly near the center of the pot. Cover the seeds and tap down lightly to compact the topsoil. You need to plant at least 3 seeds in case one or more of the seeds is not viable. You can plant more seeds in the pot, but consider that the more seeds you plant, the more will be competing for resources. After planting, water the seeds to help them settle into the soil. Continue to water the seeds every day, making sure that the soil is moist but not saturated.  Too much water can cause the jackfruit seeds to rot, so be careful not to overwater. To see whether your seeds need watering, place your finger into the soil (up to the first knuckle). If it isn’t wet, water the seeds. Keep your pot outdoors in a sheltered, warm and sunny place. If the weather is too cold or windy, place the pot indoors in a sunny spot, like a windowsill. Jackfruit seeds will germinate well in a humid environment such as a greenhouse. If this is not possible and the weather outside is too cool, an indoor heat lamp is an alternative option to keep your seeds growing healthily. It will take 3 to 4 weeks for your seedlings to germinate. Choose the seedling that has grown the tallest, looks the strongest and has healthy green leaves. Remove the remaining seedlings by gently pulling them out of the soil. Avoid using seedlings that look weak, spindly or have grown near the edge of the pot. A seedling that has grown in the middle of the pot will have a more fully developed root system.

One-sentence summary -- Fill your seedling pot with organic potting mix. Sow at least 3 seeds into the prepared pot. Water the seeds. Keep the potted seeds in a warm and sunny environment. Choose the healthiest seedling to nourish after they’ve started germinating.


Use a sharp knife to chop the lettuce, tomato, and bell pepper into small, cubed pieces. Set the lettuce and tomato aside — you'll use them later on. To save time, you can chop the bell pepper first, then finish the other vegetables while you're waiting for the ground beef to finish browning in the next step. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef with a little cooking oil and use your spoon or spatula to break it into small chunks. After a few minutes, add the chopped bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until brown all over and no pinkness remains. This should take about five to seven minutes.  When you're done cooking, there will be a little excess grease in the pan. Carefully drain this into a container that won't melt from the heat and toss in the garbage. Don't pour it down the sink — this can clog the drain. In a pinch, you can also microwave ground beef for five to seven minutes, breaking it up and stirring at the three minute mark. Pour your bottled salsa directly into the pan with the drained beef and bell pepper. Stir well to combine. Do not attempt to drain the salsa or get rid of excess moisture. Let this mixture cook until it reaches a healthy boil. When you notice boiling, reduce the heat to medium or low. The boiling should decrease to a light simmer. Cover loosely (with a gap in the lid to allow steam to escape). Simmer at this heat for 10-12 minutes or until the mixture is pleasantly thick. Stir every few minutes. Keep an eye on the texture and thickness of your mixture to prevent burning. The cooking time here will vary greatly depending on the starting thickness of your salsa. Very liquid salsas may take the full 12 minutes to thicken, but chunkier salsas will be ready much sooner. When it's done, your mixture should be thick enough to hold together in a spoon without running over the edges. Take a generous pinch of your chopped lettuce and set it in the center of each plate. Spoon a helping of the meat/salsa mixture over this bed of lettuce. When each plate has a serving of meat over a bed of lettuce, sprinkle each with the chopped tomatoes, crumbled chips, shredded cheese, and the rest of the lettuce. Your easy taco salad is now ready to eat. This dish can be eaten with a spoon or fork, but you may want to serve it with additional chips or hot tortillas for a rustic "eat with your hands" experience.

Because the torch will get extremely hot, you’ll need the extra length the pliers provide to keep your hand safely away from the heat. Keep a firm grip on the plug, but don’t squeeze so hard that you risk damaging the spark plug. It only needs to sit in the pliers as a handle extension. If you have a bench vice, that will work in place of pliers. Turn the knob on your gas or propane torch to allow gas to flow, then either hit the ignition button or place an ignition source in front of the nozzle. The torch will then light up and begin burning.  You may choose to wear gloves just to give your hands a bit more heat protection. Turn the torch all the way up so it is producing a blue flame. The torch will burn the carbon and debris off of the spark plug, and because the plug is designed to be inside the engine when it ignites, it will survive the heat without issue. Hold the plug in the flame, rotating it from side to side, until the end of the plug and the electrode are glowing red hot.  Depending on how hot your torch is, this may take several minutes. Be extremely careful not to allow the flame from the torch to reach anything else in your work area. After the plug gets hot enough to burn away the carbon, it will need to cool for a few minutes before you can work with it. Be extremely careful; the spark plug will return to normal colors long before it is cool enough to touch. To be safe, give each plug at least 5 minutes to cool before attempting to reinstall it. Once the spark plug is cool, it will be clean enough to reinstall. Once the spark plug is cool enough to reinstall, put it back in, reconnect the spark plug wire, and move on to the next spark plug. Continue to repeat these steps for each plug until they are all clean. It is important that you clean each spark plug so that some cylinders don’t burn more efficiently than others.

Grip the spark with pliers on the end the wire connects to. Put on gloves and ignite your torch. Hold the end of the spark plug in the flame until it turns red. Let the plug cool and do not touch it with your fingers. Repeat the process for each spark plug.
