Meatless Ground Beef style Tacos made with Tempeh

Everything about this taco meat is like the real thing - texture, taste, and look. Made with Tempeh, taco spice, and chopped vegetables, this taco meat will fool your most committed meat eater. This is easy to do and delicious. If you are vegan vegetarian you do not have to give up tacos!

Tempeh is a great meat alternative and full of nutrients as well. When I check out at the market with tempeh the checker oftens asks "What do you do with that???". I explain that we make hamburgers, tacos, sloppy joes, and many other things with it. A look of "how?" appears on their face.

Below is the process of turning tempeh into great taco meat. Top with what you like!

  1. Three cheers for tempeh! Much like seitan, it really doesn't get the love or attention it deserves, so I'm always happy to find a new recipe to add to my arsenal.

  2. I recently diced up some Trader Joe's Tempeh that I bought a while back. Yours looks so much better! I really need to get some more and try these suggestions!
