Tempeh Tacos

Tempeh, made from fermented soybeans, gives a deep flavor and meaty texture to Dana Tomlin's vegetarian taco filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound plain tempeh
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons tamari
  • Pinch of pepper

Preparation

  1. Crumble tempeh into a small bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a medium sized skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add tempeh and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 15-20 seconds until aromatic.
  3. Add chili powder, pepper, tamari, and water. Mix well and sauté a few minutes more until liquid evaporates. Note: Add additional oil if tempeh is sticking to pan.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with fresh corn tortillas and your favorite taco fixings.
