Ingredients
  

Tempeh Taco "Meat"

  • 1 ½ packs tempeh (around 350 grams)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅓ cup water

Salad

  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes, cut into 4
  • 1 small can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 19oz can black eyed peas, rinsed and drained sub black beans
  • ¼ large red onion, finely diced
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, roughly chopped

Chipotle Dressing

  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1 small clove minced garlic or a dash or garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • water to thin the consistency

Instructions
 

Tempeh Taco "Meat"

  • Start by grating the tempeh using a cheese grater. If theres a little leftover just crumble it using your hands.
  • Add the grated tempeh to a non-stick pan on medium heat with a little olive oil and cook for 3-4 mins or until lightly browned.
  • Add in the water and reduce until you have reached your desired consistency. This should take around 5 mins.

Chipotle Dressing

  • In a tall jar add tahini, lime juice, garlic, chipotle peppers, chili powder, maple syrup, salt pepper and 1 tbsp of water. Blend it together with an immersion blender until it's smooth and creamy. Thin it out by adding more water 1 tbsp at a time.

Jar Assembly

  • Layer the jars by first adding the dressing, then beans, corn, tomatoes and lettuce. Store in the fridge, and pour into a bow and toss when ready to eat. Enjoy!
