Vegan Mushroom Tempeh Fajitas are filled with flavorful spices and colorful vegetables. These fajitas are the perfect meatless dinner recipe!
Fajitas! Oh my, fajitas are just the best! They're filled with veggies, and spices, and tons of fresh flavors. Obviously, most fajitas have chicken or some other meat, but I used tempeh for a vegan version.
What I love about using tempeh (and tofu too) is that it soaks up the flavor of the spices and sauce wayyyy more than meat does. This results in a much tastier dish, because each bite has all the delicious flavor of the spices. So good!
Tempeh is also packed with plant protein, so you're still going to be full and satisfied after eating these fajitas. Not to mention the veggies, which have tons of fiber and contribute to satiation. Oh, and they also taste good!
Step 1. In a medium bowl, mix the vegetable broth, lime juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne.
Step 2. Arrange the tempeh strips in a container and pour the vegetable broth marinade over the tempeh. Let sit at least 15 minutes.
Step 3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Reserve at least 1/2 cup of the tempeh marinade. Add the tempeh to the skillet and cook, using the marinade liquid if necessary to prevent sticking. Cook 5 minutes.
Step 4. Add the mushrooms, peppers, frozen corn, the remaining teaspoon of cumin, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, and all additional spices. Cook until the mushrooms and peppers are soft and the corn is completely warmed through.
Step 5. Portion into corn tortillas. Sprinkle with cilantro and jalapeno, if desired. Enjoy!
