Smoky Mushroom and Tempeh Tacos with Chipotle Mayo

These veg-packed tacos are bound to go into rotation in your household. They make a great weeknight dinner but are also beautiful and creative enough to be a good option for entertaining. Tempeh is a protein-rich plant-based ingredient that is far more versatile than many of us realise - these tacos showcase how it can be transformed from a block of fermented beans into a plant-based meal fit for a feast. The tempeh base can be made ahead of time, making these a great meal prep option.
