Easy Marinated Chipotle Tempeh Tacos (plant based, vegan, vegetarian)

Jump to Recipe

Hello blog family! Today we’re making chipotle inspired plant based tacos.

Are you in the mood for some delicious tacos? Because I sure am! If you have the time I HIGHLY recommend making your OWN tortillas. I don’t have a recipe yet but maybe soon! I’m working on an almond flour tortilla recipe! Your local farmer’s markets might sell some or you can look for some in the cooler section of your local grocery store.

I’ve been craving taco-inspired dinners for a while now so I went to work in the kitchen and came up with this recipe with the help of my cooking partner. And boy oh boy you will want seconds with these. SO what are you waiting for let’s get cooking?

As you scroll you might notice this recipe uses a lot of ingredients, most of these ingredients are fairly cheap so the cost of these tacos is still pretty low. You can get 6 serving out of these tacos which is great! I would label this recipe as budget-friendly.

What to look forward to?

Recipe tip:

I used homemade taco shells from the local farmers market. I’m not sure if I can go back to store-bought tortillas after having the ones from the farmers market! It’s worth trying to make your tortillas! You can use this recipe for homemade tortillas!
