Step 1
Lightly heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it, stirring now and then, until it softens up—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Add the garlic next and cook for another minute or two until it smells amazing.
Step 2
Now, mix in the grated tempeh and keep stirring for about 5 minutes until it starts to turn golden and a little crispy. Pour in the vegetable broth, turn the heat down to low, and sprinkle in the taco seasoning, oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Let everything simmer gently, stirring often, until most of the liquid has cooked off—this usually takes around 5 minutes.
Serving Variations
Serve with a side of fresh salsa, guacamole, or a simple cabbage slaw for extra crunch. Warm tortillas work best, and a dollop of sour cream or vegan yogurt adds a cool contrast. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro or chopped green onions can enhance the overall taste.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Tempeh filling can also be frozen for up to 2 months—just thaw and reheat gently before serving. Keep tortillas separate to avoid sogginess.
