The secret is cooking the tempeh and turn it into vegan meat. It is a very simple recipe and a full dinner. So are you ready to learn how you can make this tempting vegan tempeh burritos? Let’s get started!





Have you ever cooked with tempeh? I know tempeh mostly from the Indonesia kitchen. Like tempeh sambal goreng which is a great condiment with rice recipes.

But there a way more options with tempeh. Tempeh can take on so many flavors. I have made tempeh that taste like Paella rice while I also made tempeh that tasted like taco meat.

So why not try a bit of both by preparing it like meat and eating it with rice and a lot of vegetables and create a delicious burrito?

If I prepare a vegetarian or vegan recipe it has to have a bite. That is why I like to add spicy flavors to my recipes.

The spicier the better and combine it with high texture vegetables like:

mushrooms

bell peppers

kidney beans

Tempeh is a great example of a food with a bite or food you can give a bite.

And it gets even better:

It is made from soy and neutral in taste so it can easily take on any flavor you add.

Further, it is a rich source of protein, high in vitamins and low fat. So a healthy ingredient to use.

This vegan burrito recipe is made for two but double the ingredients and you can feed a whole family of 4 of 5 people with these burritos.
