Tempeh Tacos

Here is a wonderful way to switch up your normal Taco Tuesday routine!

As much as I love my lentil and cauliflower tacos, it’s nice to switch it up occasionally! Tempeh isn’t something I cook with regularly, but every time I do, I always wonder why. It’s very similar to tofu in that it takes on any flavor you want, and it’s incredibly easy to cook with. It’s also very high in protein as well as many vitamins and minerals. The texture of these tacos is surprisingly satisfying, and I’m definitely adding them to my Taco Tuesday rotation!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. block of tempeh
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp salt
• pinch of black pepper
• toppings: pickled onions, lettuce, taco sauce, guacamole

Method:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Crumble the tempeh into the pan. I like to make sure there are many different-sized pieces. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until slightly browned.
• Add all of the remaining ingredients. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until all the liquid is gone.

• Assemble your tacos. Enjoy & share!
