Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the tempeh into thin strips or crumble into small pieces depending on your preferred texture.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until combined.

3. 3

   Add the tempeh to the marinade and toss well to coat. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes — the longer the better.

4. 4

   While the tempeh marinates, make the avocado cream. Mash the avocado in a bowl until smooth, then mix in the coconut yogurt, lime juice, salt, and chopped chives.

5. 5

   Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add the tempeh and sauté for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides.

6. 6

   Warm your corn tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side or directly over a gas flame for a slight char.

7. 7

   Assemble your tacos — spread a generous layer of avocado cream on each tortilla, top with crispy tempeh, shredded cabbage, fresh herbs, and anything else crunchy you love.

8. 8

   Serve immediately and eat while the tempeh is still warm and crispy.
