Ingredients

• 8 oz tempeh
• 1 tsp liquid smoke
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 avocado
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 can black beans
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Slice the tempeh into thin, bacon-like strips.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine liquid smoke, maple syrup, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well to make the marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh strips and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the avocado. In a small bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice and salt until smooth.

Step 6

Rinse and drain the black beans, then heat them in a separate pan or microwave until warm.

Step 7

Assembly: Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of mashed avocado in the center of the tortilla.

Step 8

Add a few strips of cooked tempeh bacon, a scoop of black beans, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, and drizzle with sriracha or hot sauce.

Step 9

Top with fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 10

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 11

Optionally, you can grill the assembled burritos on a pan for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side for a toasted exterior.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Bacon Burrito!
