Step up your wrap game with this peanut sauce marinated tempeh! It's flavorful, and packed with protein and fresh veggies! Perfect for picnics, or quick meals!
Take the tempeh out of the storage package, rinse with water, and dry. Thinly slice the tempeh into 1/4" thick strips about 2" long. Place all the cut pieces in a bowl.
Prepare the Thai Peanut Sauce as provided in the recipe link (note: this sauce can be pre-made and refrigerated or frozen for later use) or use your favorite store-bought peanut sauce .
Pour the peanut sauce over the cut tempeh and toss. Be sure to pour enough such that all the tempeh is evenly coated (note: leave about 1/2 for the wrap assembly).
Marinate tempeh for ~20 minutes and toss a few times in between. You can prepare the salad filling while waiting.
Once done marinating, heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick pan. Add the tempeh and cook, turning the pieces of tempeh several times until all the tempeh is grilled and browned on both sides (5-10min).
To Make Mixed Greens/Veggies:
Chop all the veggies for the salad filling and toss in a separate bowl.
To Assemble Wrap:
Warm the tortilla and lay flat on a plate. Add chopped salad, and top with peanut sauce. Add the tempeh mixture, and again top with peanut sauce. Add avocado (optional).
Roll the tortilla into a wrap, cut in half, and serve!
