Tempeh And Walnut Soft Taco Filling

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the bell pepper and continue to saute until the onion is lightly browned.

2. 2

   Cut the block of tempeh into several chunks. Place in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse on and off a few times.

3. 3

   Add the walnut pieces and onion and pepper mixture, pulse on and off until everything is finely and evenly chopped. Be careful not to overprocess - you don't want this to turn into a puree.

4. 4

   Transfer the mixture to the skillet. Add the tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir together, bring to a simmer, then allow to cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minute to allow the flavors to marry.

5. 5

   Serve straight from the skillet or transfer to a serving container, allowing everyone to construct their own tacos using soft corn tortillas or crispy taco shells, plus the rest of the suggested embellishments.
