Barbecued Tempeh Wraps


Prep/cook time: 30 minutes Serves 4 / Prep tip: Grilling imparts an added smoky flavor, but if you don’t have a grill, it isn’t essential to this recipe.

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1/2 cup water

8 ounces three-grain tempeh, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips

8 6-inch corn tortillas

1 cup fresh or frozen and thawed corn kernels

6 radishes, sliced (about 10 ounces)

1 cup sliced red onion

Avocado slices and lime wedges, for garnish

1. Preheat grill to medium.

2. Mix barbecue sauce and water in a wide skillet. Arrange tempeh slices in a single layer in sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until sauce is thick. Turn tempeh a few times during cooking.

3. Remove tempeh from barbecue sauce and sear on grill briefly, about 2 minutes per side, until light grill marks appear. Microwave tortillas, four at a time, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until pliable. Divide tempeh, corn, radishes, and onion among tortillas; drizzle with any remaining pan sauce. Garnish with avocado, if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
