Ingredients
For the Chipotle Tempeh:
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 8-ounce package tempeh, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or another neutral flavored vegetable oil
For the Peach Salsa:
- 1 ripe peach finely diced
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 garlic clove minced
- salt and pepper to taste
For Serving:
- 4 to 6 hard taco shells or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
To make the Chipotle Tempeh:
- Stir the lime juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, chipotle chili powder, cumin and garlic together in a shallow dish. Add the tempeh cubes and gently stir to coat. Allow to marinate while you prepare the peach salsa, occasioally flipping to distribute the marinade.
- Coat a large skillet with the grapeseed oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the tempeh cubes in a single layer, reserving any excess marinade. Cook 10 minutes, flipping once or twice, until browned on several sides. If you had any excecss marinade, pour it into the skillet over the tempeh cubes and cook another 30 seconds or so, just until all the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
Cup of Yum
To make the Peach Salsa:
- Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl.
To serve:
- Divide the lettuce and tempeh among taco shells or tortillas and top with salsa.
Notes
- I prefer corn tortillas over hard shells for this recipe, and I like to warm them for 3-4 minutes in an oven set to 400°F before stuffing.
