Spicy Tempeh Tacos

by jamie on June 22, 2010

I’ve been sick to my stomach (literally) so haven’t really been able to eat much this week.  Tonight, I was semi feeling better and made quite possibly the WORST meal you could ever think of when you’re getting over a stomach flu: spicy vegan tacos with tempeh, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell pepper wrapped in rainbow chard leaves.

I know, I know.  WTF was I thinking?  But not gonna lie, they were damn good!

I am in love with 8-ball zucchinis - they are so freaking cute:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tsps olive oil
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 8 ball green zucchini
  • 8 oz spicy tempeh, finely sliced
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tbsp Frontier taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp ground Mexican chili
  • 2-3 rainbow chard leaves

Heat oil and garlic until garlic begins to brown.  Add bell pepper, mushrooms and zucchini and let cook for 1-2 minutes.  Add veggie broth, taco seasoning, and Mexican chili and turn down the heat to low.  Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.  Let cool a little and then serve in chard leaves.  Enjoy!
