Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, boil water, add tempeh and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from water and let cool.
- While tempeh is cooling, mix the chipotle pepper, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic, paprika, oregano, and onion in a small bowl.
- Dice the tempeh into small pieces and place in a nonstick pan for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the chipotle mixture to the tempeh and mix well, then add 1/8th cup of water. Continue to cook on medium heat for 5 more minutes.
- Place tempeh on a small tortilla, and top with cilantro, tomato, and onion (if using).

Notes
- Make sure that you properly drain the boiled tempeh before frying them for that perfect sear.
- Cut the tempeh into equal bite-sized proportions. This is to ensure that they all cook evenly and absorb the flavors a lot better.
- Use a large enough pan or skillet so it does not get overcrowded when frying the tempeh pieces. This is to ensure that they crisp up nicely.
- To create a more smokey flavor, char those tortillas. If you’re using a gas range, blistering the tortillas over the flame is easy. If not, heat the tortillas in a hot cast-iron skillet until they puff and burn slightly.
