What You’ll Need:

1 package tempeh

For the marinade:

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 c Tamari

2 tsp paprika

2 Tbsp PURE maple syrup

2 tsp liquid smoke (if you can’t find this, don’t stress!)

Pinch sea salt

For the tacos:

1 avocado

2-3 tsp spicy mustard

1 large tomato, diced

4-6 leaves romaine lettuce, chopped

1 avocado

2-3 tsp spicy mustard

pinch sea salt

6 corn tortillas


Slice tempeh into strips, and set into a glass dish/tupperware. Add ingredients for marinade. Cover & pop into the fridge overnight.

To prepare bacon, heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat. Sear marinated tempeh for 2-3 minutes on each side, transferring to a plate as you go. Drizzle seared tempeh with any remaining marinade.

*If you have a gas range: Set each tortilla directly on flame; 30 seconds each side to yield a perfectly crispy, chewy tortilla! You can do this in a large frying pan over an electric range, too!

In a small bowl, mash avocado, mustard and salt.

Smear tortillas with prepared avocado spread. Load each with lettuce, tomato & bacon.

Dive in and be so happy!
