Instructions
Mushroom Directions
- Heat a small pan to medium, then heat the mushrooms briefly in the oil. Add the spices, stir to coat the mushrooms. Next, add the syrup to the pan, stir to coat, and allow to cook for a few minutes to create a glaze. Remove them from the pan, and you can keep it warm in the oven on very low if you like.
Black Bean Directions
- Put the beans in a bowl with a tight-fitting lid, season with the oil, spice and salt, than cover with the lid and shake. Set aside, and shake a few more times throughout their marination.
Salsa Directions
- Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl, and set aside.
Hot vegetables Directions
- Heat a pan to medium (can be the same one as for the tempeh), and saute the onion in the olive oil. Once the onions are translucent, add the zucchini, sprinkle sea salt on it, and saute until the zucchini is soft.
Guacamole Directions
- Mash the avocado, then fold in the other ingredients.
Raw Vegetable Directions
- Prepare the raw vegetables, then set everything out on the table, to build the tacos/fajitas. Serve along with lemon or lime wedges.
