Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup water
1 medium lime, zest and juice ((about 2 tablespoons juice and ¾ teaspoon zest))
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 1/2 tablespoons ground chili powder
2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional-if not using consider adding 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, which is spicy and smoky)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 small sweet potato (scrubbed)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces tempeh (I used Lightlife Original)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
Corn or flour tortillas
Toppings: (diced avocado, thinly sliced jalapeño, chopped fresh cilantro, salsa)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl or larger liquid measuring cup, whisk together the water, lime zest, lime juice, maple syrup, chili powder, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
  • With a box grater, plane-style grater, or the shredding blade of a food process, shred the sweet potato (no need to peel it). You should have about 2 heaping cups. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Break the tempeh into small pieces. Cook, continuing to break it up, for 2 minutes until just turning golden. Fold in the sweet potato, dispersing it evenly with the tempeh. Stir in the soy sauce. Cook until the sweet potato begins to soften, about 4 minutes more.
  • While the sweet potato cooks, warm the tortillas. I like to spread them on a baking sheet and pop them into a 300 degree oven for a few minutes. You also can warm them in an ungreased skillet, cooking them for a minute or two on each side. If you'd like to keep them warm for a longer period, stack them, then wrap them in foil until ready to serve or keep them wrapped in a 200 degree F oven.
  • Add the sauce. Let cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Pile inside the warm tortillas, add any and all toppings, and enjoy!

TEMPEH TACOS



Tempeh Tacos image

Hard-shell tacos, or tacos dorados, have a long history in northern Mexico and immigrant communities in California and Texas. In 1951, Glen Bell added them to the menu of his drive-in stand in San Bernardino, Calif. He would go on to found (you guessed it) Taco Bell, the fast food chain, which would help popularize hard-shell tacos in the United States. While the typical hard-shell taco is made by piling spiced and saucy ground meat and a party of toppings into a shatteringly crisp shell, this vegan version calls for tempeh. Tempeh is made by fermenting cooked soybeans into a spongelike cake with a porous structure that browns, crumbles and soaks up big flavors incredibly well. Here, it's seasoned with well-toasted tomato paste, ground cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika, as well as nutritional yeast for added umami. That said, the recipe can also be made with vegan store-bought meat crumbles if you prefer.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as grapeseed or sunflower), plus more as needed
2 (8-ounce) packages tempeh, crumbled into roughly 1/2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon red hot sauce, plus more to taste (optional)
12 hard taco shells, warmed
Desired toppings, see Tip

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the tempeh and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until deep brown, 2 minutes. Stir and cook until browned all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Add more oil as needed if the pan looks dry.
  • Add the tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, nutritional yeast and smoked paprika. Season with salt and cook, stirring constantly, until brick red and beginning to stick to the skillet, 5 to 7 minutes. Try not to rush this step; if it begins to burn, deglaze with a bit of water and reduce the heat.
  • Add 1 cup water and the hot sauce, if using. Cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits, until thickened and the mixture is sizzling, 2 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and hot sauce.
  • Divide the filling between the taco shells, then top with chosen toppings.
