To Make The Carnitas: Rinse, drain and roughly shred the jackfruit. Combine the jackfruit, orange juice, 1 tbsp of the lime juice, 60 ml of tamari, hot sauce, cilantro, cumin and syrup in a large pot. Add enough water to reach about 2 cm above the jackfruit. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The jackfruit should still be fully immersed in liquid after the hour, stop simmering sooner if the liquid evaporates before. Do not drain. Let cool, cover and chill the jackfruit in the liquid overnight, up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, drain the jackfruit. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jackfruit. Cook for 10 minutes or until the jackfruit starts to brown. Stir occasionally. Add the remaining 2 tbs lime juice and remaining 2 tbs tamari and cook for 5 minutes longer. Set aside. To Make The Creme: Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To Assemble The Sandwiches: Spread 3 tbs guacamole on one half on each roll. Spread 2 generous tbs chili crème on the other side of each roll.
