Recipe: Roasted Sweet Potato Tempeh Tacos

I've been having the best time experimenting in the kitchen lately. These plant-based tempeh tacos are one of our new favorites! And where we're not 100% plant-based, we do love plant-centric options for a few reasons:
1️⃣ The more plants the better!
2️⃣ They often require way less cooking (tempeh comes together in a flash vs. chicken or beef)
3️⃣ They're super budget-friendly (a pack of sprouted tempeh <--- our preferred variety from Trader Joes is only $1.99!)
Plus, they're SUPER delicious. My whole family (kids included) devour these!

Roasted Sweet Potato Tempeh Tacos
1 batch roasted sweet potatoes
1 batch tempeh taco 'meat'
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup cilantro
1 medium avocado, sliced or mashed with 2-3 tsp lime juice and a pinch of sea salt
6-8 small to medium flour or corn tortillas (we love Siete brand, they're corn-free)
1. Prepare sweet potatoes and taco meat as directed (recipes below).
2. Layer each taco with avocado, tempeh, sweet potatoes, cabbage and cilantro. Enjoy!
Not 100% plant-based? These are also fabulous with a sprinkle of cojita!.
Soy-free? Swap out the tempeh for black beans.
