Golden Lentil Veggie Tempeh Tacos

Our Golden Lentil Veggie Tempeh is made with golden lentils and live cultures giving it a nutty flavour and firm texture. It’s naturally high in protein and packed with fibre, making it a great addition to your favourite grain bowl, sandwich or even tacos.

We’ve tossed the Lentil Tempeh in a smoky maple-harissa glaze and pan-fried it until golden. Layered into warm corn tacos with creamy guac and fresh tomato salsa, it makes an easy lunch or weeknight dinner, ready in 10 minutes.
