Tempeh and Vegetable Tacos are a relatively new dish, but they have quickly become a favorite among vegetarians and vegans alike. Tempeh is a fermented soybean product that has a chewy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and iron. Vegetables are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also low in calories and fat. Taco seasoning is a blend of spices that is used to flavor Mexican dishes. It typically includes chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Tortillas are a type of flatbread that is made from corn or wheat flour. They are a staple of Mexican cuisine and are used to make tacos, burritos, and other dishes.
