Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz tempeh
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup vegan ranch dressing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin strips.
In a bowl, mix together smoked paprika, soy sauce, maple syrup, and garlic powder. Add the tempeh strips and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh strips and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked brown rice and lime juice. Stir well to incorporate the lime flavor into the rice.
For each burrito, lay a flour tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of vegan ranch dressing in the center.
Layer the following ingredients on top of the dressing: a quarter of the lime-infused rice, a few slices of the avocado, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a quarter of the shredded romaine lettuce, a few slices of red onion, and a portion of the cooked tempeh bacon.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil for a meal on the go.
