TEMPE TACOS

Tempeh Tacos

Tempeh tacos are a great option for anyone looking for a tasty and nutritious alternative to classic tacos. Toasted tempeh combined with spices like cumin, paprika, and chilies delivers a rich, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with fresh avocado, tomatoes, and crispy onions. Each piece is drizzled with lime juice and seasoned with fresh herbs, adding freshness and balance to the dish. Not only is this dish great for vegetarians and vegans, it will also appeal to classic taco lovers who want to try something new and healthier.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1.Prepare the tempeh: Cut the tempeh into small cubes or slices, as you like. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the tempeh on both sides until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  • 2.Seasoning the tempeh: Add soy sauce, red pepper, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the toasted tempeh. Stir and let it sauté for a while to absorb the spices.
  • 3.Prepare the side dishes: Cut the tomato into small cubes. Peel and thinly slice the onion (you can marinate it lightly in lime juice for a milder taste). Halve the avocado, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh. Cut into slices. Finely chop the cilantro.
  • 4.Assemble the tacos: Layer each tortilla with a layer of toasted tempeh. Add tomatoes, onion, avocado, and sprinkle with cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and top with salsa and sour cream or vegan yogurt, if using.
