Ingredients

• Tempeh - 200 grams
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon

• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Salsa - 100 grams (optional)

Steps

1. Steam the tempeh for 10 minutes to soften it, then let it cool slightly before crumbling it into a bowl.
2. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the crumbled tempeh and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh is heated through and slightly crispy.
5. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the tempeh mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with avocado slices and serve with lime wedges and salsa on the side.
