Spring

Tempeh Tacos

from Tempeh Tacos with Sunchoke + Grapefruit-Avocado Salsas, the Week of January 24, 2016.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

These tempeh tacos are vegan-licious. Beyond the tempeh filling, add your favorite toppings. We include greens, avocado, and carrots as simple options. If you are a dairy lover a dollop of sour cream or even a sprinkle of cojita cheese would be a fun addition. The Taco-Spiced Tempeh can be used in place of the tempeh and spices in this particular, because we doctor it up with more vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces tempeh, or taco spiced tempeh recipe
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground, or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 1 pinch chili powder, to taste
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lime
  • 4 tortillas, corn or small flour
  • 2 cups spring greens, washed and dried
  • 1 carrot, peel and shred
  • 2 tablespoons salsa

Preparation Instructions

Crumble or shred the tempeh and sauté in the coconut oil. Season with the cumin, chili powder and salt, each to taste.

This is a great time to prepare all of the taco toppings, including slicing the avocado and scooping it out. Drizzle with a little lime juice to prevent the avocado from browning.

Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over medium-low heat, just until they are easy to bend.

Fill the tortillas with the tempeh and finish with your choice of toppings including the spring greens, avocado, squirt or more of lime, shredded carrots, and salsa.

Fold up and enjoy.
