Miso Glazed Tempeh Lettuce Wraps

I was inspired to make these when I bought tempeh and was not exactly sure what make with it. I quickly did a google search and found a tempeh tortilla wrap recipe on http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com. It sounded delicious but I wanted to make it even lighter and fresher. So I decided to slightly change the recipe and the result was a refreshing and healthy lettuce wrap that did not disappoint!

Makes 8 wraps

The Players:

Miso dressing ingredients

• 3 tbs miso paste
• 3 tbs apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbs agave
• Crushed black pepper to taste
• 1 tbs of olive oil
• 1 tbs of tahini paste

Wrap ingredients

• 8 large lettuce leaves washed and dried
• 8 oz of tempeh cut up into thin slices or pieces
• 1/4 of a large red onion sliced thinly
• 4 kale leaves sliced thinly
• 1 large tomato sliced
• 1 avocado sliced
• 1 tps of olive oil
• Other veggies if desired*

The Game Plan:

Mix all the miso dressing ingredients up in a mason jar or in a bowl. Place the tempeh pieces in the marinade and coat evenly. Heat a large pan with olive oil on medium low heat. Place tempeh pieces in the pan and let cook for about 5 minutes flipping a few times. It is done when it is slightly browned. Set aside.

To assemble the wrap, take a lettuce leaves and evenly distribute the veggies and tempeh into each. Do not overfill, otherwise the wrap will fall apart. Roll the lettuce up and enjoy!

* There are plenty of other vegetables you can add or use instead like carrots, cucumbers, sprouts, etc.
