Black Bean Tempeh Tacos from The Garden Grazer

Black Bean Tempeh Tacos from TheGardenGrazer.com

From thegardengrazer.com, the author of this recipe:

I love using tempeh as a ground meat substitute! Most often I use it in pasta sauce, but it's awesome in so many other dishes as well. These Black Bean Tempeh Tacos were an early recipe ... Tacos are always a great choice for weeknight meals - quick, easy, delicious! Plus everyone can personalize their own with the toppings they love. These are pleasantly filling, with a double protein punch from both the beans and tempeh. (For us, each taco has over 10g protein!) My favorite toppings are avocado, lettuce, and juicy pico de gallo which pairs wonderfully. Let's get this taco party started!
