CRISPY TEMPEH TACOS 🌮🔥 Welcome to the fourth episode, y’all! I haven’t made tacos in forever, which is crazy because they’re just the best. I’m making an effort this year to show y’all more recipes with tempeh. HIGHLY underrated. I swear, when you boil tempeh and then take it out and smell it while it’s still steaming, it has the most amazing, almost entrancing smell. The fermentation produces such complex flavors in tempeh. And in this recipe, it turns to a crisp, nutty golden brown through the whole cooking process, and it tastes SO good. These tacos were such a hit. My wife literally exclaimed when she took her first bite. Make these into eternity. Love y’all 🙏 ingredients 1 sixteen-ounce block tempeh, halved salt and olive oil, as specified 1 small red onion, finely diced 2 medium-sized tomatoes, cored and finely diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced 2 limes 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plain vegan yogurt 3 tablespoons pickled jalapeño brine 1 teaspoon each cumin, paprika, chili powder, & nutritional yeast 1 avocado, peeled, cored, then mashed or whipped in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt 1 small bunch cilantro, chopped corn tortillas (preferably charred just before) preparation add the tempeh to boiling water in a medium sauce pot, add a few pinches of salt, and cook 15 mins. while that cooks, mix the red onion, tomato, garlic, jalapeño, and juice of 1 lime, with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. set aside. add the yogurt, pickled jalapeño brine, juice & zest of the other lime, and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. strain the tempeh from the cooking water, break up in a bowl with a fork, then add to a sauté pan over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. season with a pinch of salt and stir tempeh. cook 2 mins. add cumin, paprika, chili powder, & notch cook down another 6 to 10 mins, stirring every couple minutes. mash avocado just before plating. serve tempeh on tortillas with all the fixings. enjoy, my friends.
