Tempeh Tacos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    package of tempeh
    tacos
    taco seasonings (packet or make up your own)
    salsa
    toppings - lettuce, onion, tomato

Directions:

Thaw tempeh if frozen, then grate with cheese grater.  Heat frying pan with oil, and add tempeh. Cook on medium until brown, stirring occasionally.  Add taco seasonings, we  use Lawrys taco seasoning, (no animal products, msg etc).  Add about 1 1/4 cups of water, and cook gently until thickened.  Scoop into taco shells and add toppings.

Tempeh most resembles what we used to fill tacos with in our less conscious days.  It is also much easier to digest than textured soy protein which people more commonly use.  Find it at health food stores in the frozen section.

Serves: 2-3

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Nutrition Information: Tempeh is great for you and is an easily digestable source of soybeans. This is because it is made using a mold on soybeans so they are already partially digested by the mold.  You can order the mold from various sources and also make your own.

I tried this recipe and it is awesome.  I love tempeh, and its even better if you marinate the tempeh overnite before you cook it.  You can use almost anything, but I use Braggs, assafoetida(howe'ver you spell it)  vegan red wine, lemon juice, and a bit of olive oil.
