Step 1
Start by heating a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it starts to soften, which should take about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute or two until you can really smell that delicious aroma. Next, stir in the grated tempeh and keep cooking, stirring often, until it turns a nice light brown—around 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, turn the heat down to low, and sprinkle in the taco seasoning, oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Let everything simmer together, stirring now and then, until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 5 minutes.
Why you’ll love it
These tacos are packed with rich, savory flavors and a satisfying texture from the tempeh. They offer a great plant-based alternative that is both nutritious and delicious. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty meal without meat.
How to serve
Serve with fresh toppings like chopped cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of lime. Add a side of guacamole or salsa for extra brightness. A simple cabbage slaw can add a nice crunch and freshness to each bite.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover tempeh filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep tortillas separate and warm them up before serving again. For longer storage, freeze the cooked filling and thaw it in the fridge overnight.
