Instructions

Step 1

Heat the tortillas in a pan. Crumble tempeh into small pieces in a pan, and cook on medium with onions, soy sauce, and spices for 6-8 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate pan, make the refried beans. If the beans are cold to start, you may want to heat them up first with a half cup of water to soften.

Step 3

Then, using a food processor or a really good fork, blend the beans, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic, until smooth. Some chunks are okay. Place in a bowl and mixing the dice veggies if using, and heat.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the lettuce, bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and cheese as indicated. Put everything in separate bowls, including the tempeh and beans when they are finished, and serve immediately.
