Grated sweet potato meets crumbled Tiba Tempeh in a zesty, 28g protein-packed feast. A high-fiber, smoky powerhouse that proves plant-based taco nights can be both fast and incredibly punchy.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or large jug, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, maple syrup, chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin and garlic powder. Add a little water (about 60 mL to serve 2). Set aside.

Step 2

Using a box grater or the shredding blade of a food processor, grate the sweet potato. No need to peel it. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Tear the Tiba Tempeh Smoky Block into small pieces and add them straight into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes, breaking it up with your spoon, until it’s just starting to turn golden.

Step 4

Fold in the grated sweet potato so it’s evenly mixed through the tempeh. Stir in the soy sauce. Cook for around 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato begins to soften.

Step 5

While that’s cooking, warm your tortillas. Spread them on a baking tray and pop into a 150C oven for a few minutes. Or warm them in a dry frying pan for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. If you need to keep them warm, stack and wrap in foil or keep in a low oven at 100C.

Step 6

Pour in the smoky lime sauce. Let it cook for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened and coating everything. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Spoon into warm tortillas and top with avocado, jalapeños, coriander and salsa.
