Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 oz package tempeh any variety will work, brand Lightlife
- 2 Tablespoons tamari low-sodium
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice juice from 1 lime, fresh
- 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning 1 teaspoon
- 1 oz package fajita vegetables bell pepper and onions, frozen
- avocado sliced
- broccoli slaw
- Tomatillo dressing
- 4 corn tortillas
- lime salsa, hot sauce, pickled onions, optional
Instructions
- Add 2 teaspoons of oil to a medium skillet (I used a cast iron skillet), add fajita veggies and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning. Sauté veggies until tender and hot, about 5-7 minutes. Move to a bowl.
- Crumble tempeh into small pieces using your hands and add to a bowl with tamari, lime juice and 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning.
- In the same skillet you used to cook the veggies, add another 2 teaspoons of oil and add tempeh mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently until tempeh starts to brown and is warm throughout, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and start building tacos.
- For tacos fill one tortilla with tempeh, fajita veggies, slaw and avocado slices. Top with tomatillo dressing. Add salsa, hot sauce, pickled onions and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if using.
