It’s lunch time and you only eat a Plant Based Diet. Tired of the same boring salad to prepare?
I found this idea looking through Dr. Gregor’s How Not To Die CookBook Click here to get the book.
I changed it up some by adding what I had around the kitchen.
I made this with Chili Powder, White Pepper and Coriander mixed with 3 cloves of
chopped garlic.
I put some avocado and Green Salsa on this as the finishing touches. It was so good!
Here is my Version of the Tempeh Vera Cruz Lettuce Wraps.
Makes 2-4 Servings Depending on how hungry you are and if you add more veggies.
Plain Tempeh 8 ounces, diced
2 t chili powder
2 t coriander
1/2 t white pepper
3 cloves garlic minced
1 or 2 jalapeno’s cut up
1/2 Tomato chopped
5 or 6 T of nori cut up
1 Avocado
12 butter lettuce leaves – or can use tortilla wraps
Start by steaming the cut up tempeh for 15 minutes.
While tempeh cooking mix the spices in a bowl.
Heat 1/4 Cup of water in large skillet and cook the garlic
for a few minutes to soften. Add the nori, tomatoes,
jalapeno for 5 minutes to soften. Add seasonings and
tempeh cook for approximately 5 minutes and add
a little water if it evaporates.
Spoon on lettuce leaves and add a little avocado on each lettuce leaf
plus salsa. If you wish add some chopped cilantro.
This recipe will contribute to a serving of beans from the
Daily Dozen Requirement App.
Just made this today and the two others I shared it
with were very impressed.
