Instructions

  1. Make tempeh taco meat.
  2. Make chipotle corn salsa. Alternatively, use toasted fresh corn.
  3. Make pico de gallo. Alternatively, use fresh diced tomatoes.
  4. Assemble your tacos: Distribute tempeh taco meat, chipotle corn salsa, fresh tomato salsa, and avocado slices among tortillas. Season with lime juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Smash up the avocado and make a simple guacamole that you can also use for veggie fajitas.
  • Make the vegan tempeh meat AND tortillas in a big batch. Freeze anything extra and simply microwave to defrost them or warm slowly on the stove. Add a little water to restore the consistency. 
  • Drizzle the tacos with vegan buffalo sauce for an extra spicy kick.
  • If there are any leftovers, keep them in the fridge for up to three days in separate airtight containers.
  • Keep tempeh meat for up to three months in your freezer.

  • Use corn tortillas instead of whole wheat for a gluten-free option.
  • Boost up the heat with more jalapeño.
  • See more filling and topping ideas in my 5 - minute easy vegan tacos.
  • You can use this delicious vegan pulled jackfruit instead of tempeh in these tacos.
