Tempeh Tacos with Peach Salsa

Recipe: Tempeh Tacos with Peach Salsa

This exciting yet easy dinner is full of different textures and flavors. Crumbled spiced tempeh “meat” is topped with a fresh and tangy peach salsa and wrapped in a soft corn tortilla.

Tempeh is a high-protein meat substitute made from fermented soybeans. Similar to tofu, it will take on whatever flavors it is cooked with. Peaches add a touch of sweetness to this dish and provide anti-aging vitamin C.

Ingredients:

For the tempeh tacos:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 8 oz package tempeh, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 corn tortillas

For the peach salsa:

  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 2 small peaches, chopped
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add crumbled tempeh, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder and sauté for about 5 minutes, until all liquid has evaporated and tempeh is crispy.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine tomato, peaches, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Adjust seasoning as needed. Divide the tempeh taco meat mixture between the tortillas and top with a few spoonfuls of the peach salsa.
