These Amazing 30 Minute Vegan Tempeh Tacos are awesome! We followed much of this recipe from TheLiveInKitchen. We thank them so much for the inspiration!

We adore tempeh. If you aren’t familiar, tempeh is just fermented soy beans. It’s a much more dense texture than tofu, sort of like a chicken texture. Tempeh can be used in all kinds of great meals, including these marvelous vegan tempeh tacos.



1 cup of tempeh has about 30g of protein and is full of probiotics! Don’t be scared to give tempeh a try!



This recipe turned out great! The seasoning is better than any taco seasoning from a pouch. Top your tacos with salsa, avocado, cabbage or salad mixture and you are set.
