Ingredients

  • 8 oz. tempeh
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. taco seasoning (or [url:1]make your own[/url])
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 4 oz. can green chilis
  • 1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup organic frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 tbsp. hot sauce (like Tapatio- optional for more kick)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
  • 1 head iceburg lettuce, halved and leaves separated
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Additional toppings, as desired

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water fitted with a steamer basket to a boil. Add the tempeh to the basket, cover and steam for 15 minutes. While this step is optional, it will help reduce any bitterness in the tempeh.
  2. Remove the tempeh and finely chop.
  3. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.
  4. Add the tempeh and saute for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Add in the salsa, chilis, black beans, frozen corn and taco seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until combined and heated through.
  6. Place the filling in a bowl and serve with iceburg lettuce leaves, diced avocado and preferred toppings!
