Serves 5

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
• 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• 2 8-ounce packages soy tempeh
• 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• 8 6-inch corn tortillas

Directions:

Cut the tempeh into 1/4 inch by 2 inch strips.

Place 1/3 cup of the olive oil with the lime juice and soy sauce in an 8 inch dish. Season with the cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and garlic. Combine 1/3 cup oil, juice, soy sauce, cumin, oregano, cayenne and garlic in an 8-inch dish. Add tempeh, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 2-12 hours, stirring occasionally.

Heat a large cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with oil. Add half of tempeh to pan. Cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook 5 minutes more. Place in a warm bowl and repeat with the remaining tempeh.

Place the onion and bell pepper with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the bell pepper and onion to pan used to cook the tempeh. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the bell pepper and onion is tender and fragrant.

Heat the tortillas directly over the flame of a gas stove or in a dry nonstick pan. Place 2 tortillas on each plate. Top evenly with tempeh and bell pepper mixture and enjoy.
