High Protein Vegan Tempeh Burritos – Healthy Plant-Based Dinner

I think burritos don’t need any introduction. They are easy and quick to make, a great way to get rid of your leftovers and you can have them at any point of the day. And let’s admit it, everyone loves them.

I’m sure you’ll love this burrito as well. This vegan burrito is filled with beans and tempeh and therefore also high in protein. The burrito is super simple to assemble, as a burrito should be. But if you want to put in some extra work, you can make a lot of the ingredients yourself (and we recommend it). Especially the guacamole.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 2 big tortilla’s
• 150 grams of tempeh
• One red onion
• Half a can of black beans
• One (red) bell pepper
• Salsa sauce of your choice
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Juice of half a lime
• 2 tablespoons of Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons of Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons of Paprika powder
• 1 tablespoon of Ground coriander
• Salt & Pepper to taste

For the guacamole you’ll need:

• One Avocado
• Chili flakes
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• A small part of a tomato
• Juice of half a lime

Optional ingredients

• Lettuce
• Coriander
• Rice
• Vegan sour cream

Instructions

1. Chop up all your vegetables in bite-sized pieces
2. Add all spices to a bowl and mix them together
3. Heat oil over medium heat.
4. Add onion and cook 4-5 minutes.
5. Add tempeh crumbles, tomato, pepper, spices, and lime and cook until warmed through, another 4-5 minutes.
