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.

just reading this recipe makes my mouth water. you say that its possible to order the tempeh mold and make your own tempeh; do you have more information about making tempeh?

okay..so i used mccormick's chili seasoning and goya sazon for the spices, and two drops of liquid smoke.
and, well, didn't have any taco shells, so instead made a tempeh taco salad with tortilla chips..
and it was AMAZING!
great recipe, and I will defiantly make again..my omni friends will be amazed for sure as well!

Super easy and super awesome. Tacos are so versatile and simple!

I think tempeh for tacos is way better than tofu, as well. It's much "meatier" and not runny like tofu. Yum!

This was the best way to use my tempeh because it really takes care of hiding the tempeh flavor that usually turns me off. Great idea! So yummy.  Thumbs Up

I never would have thought to grate it.  Dawnofzio is right it soaks it up sooo well. Made them for the boyfriend and he thought they were fabulous as well.

amaaaazing! i've used soy crumbles in this recipe before and found them to be too salty. the grated tempeh worked so much better for making taco 'meat' in my opinion. thank you for sharing this super easy and yummy recipe! my non-veggie friends requested that i make this again very soon. Thumbs Up

Made these the other weekend. When frying the tempeh I added in 1 brown onion, diced and 2 cloves of garlic. This was the first time I had used tempeh in tacos, and it certainly will not be the last Wink I also used the tempeh 'mix' in wraps the next day Smiley
