Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari or liquid aminos)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 8 oz tempeh
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 6 taco shells (flour or corn)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans or Mexican Style Black Beans
  • Salsa, cabbage, cilantro, cheese, etc. (optional toppings)

Instruction

  • Combine the soy sauce and maple syrup in a shallow dish.
  • Slice the tempeh into 1/2″ slices and spread in a single layer into the sauce and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes. If you can marinate it overnight or for a few hours, that’s even better.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat for 1 minute.
  • Add the tempeh to the pan in a single layer.
  • Cook for 8 minutes or until it begins to brown, then flip over and continue cooking.
  • You want both sides to be a little bit charred.
  • While the tempeh cooks, dice the avocado and heat up the black beans.
  • Once the tempeh is done, assemble your tacos and add any toppings you like.
  • Serve immediately.
