Ingredients & Substitutions
Tempeh is such a fantastic source of protein and takes on flavors beautifully. If you can’t find tempeh, you could use crumbled tofu or even lentils as a substitute. And don’t skip the lime—it's the perfect bright finish to these tacos!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to add a bit of hot sauce for some extra kick!
- •If I have leftover tempeh, I use it in salads or grain bowls for a protein boost.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
- •You could also toss in some sautéed bell peppers or onions for a colorful twist.
Storage & Freezing
These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the tempeh separately from the tortillas and toppings in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat the tempeh when you’re ready to eat!
Frequently Asked Questions
