Tempeh Tacos


  • Author: Catherine Walthers
  • Yield: Serves 2 or 3 (Makes about 8 tacos) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • 1 (8-ounce) package Tootie’s Tempeh or other tempeh, crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked chipotle chile powder (or regular chili powder)
  • 1 cup (1/2 pint) cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 just-ripe avocado
  • 1 package Maria and Ricardo’s mini flour tortillas or Hermosa Organic soft corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, red onion, and cabbage to a skillet and saute over medium heat, stirring often until cabbage is wilted and nearly cooked, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the crumbled tempeh, and continue sautéing another 5 minutes until the tempeh is hot and slightly browned. Add the cumin and chile powder, and salt to taste, and cook a few minutes more, stirring often. 
  2. For the salsa, place the chopped tomatoes in a bowl and stir in the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to taste. Cut the avocado in half, scoop out the flesh and slice lengthwise. Set aside.
  3. Heat 6 to 8 tortillas according to the package instructions. Top each with about ¼ cup of the tempeh mixture, a dollop of salsa, and a few slices of avocado. Enjoy!
