    BBQ Tempeh Wraps with Spinach

    Jul 3, 2014 by Kaitlin

    A delicious vegan BBQ tempeh wraps recipe! It's so quick and easy to assemble. Plus it makes a satisfying, protein-packed lunch or dinner. (Vegan, gluten-free option.)

    These vegan BBQ tempeh and spinach wraps are so flavorful and satisfying.

    Tempeh, which is made from fermented soybeans, is a great source of protein, fiber, and many other nutrients.

    It's also fairly inexpensive and simple to prepare.

    So it makes a great choice for easy weeknight meals. (Plus I find the leftovers are great too!)

    Ingredients for BBQ Tempeh Wrap

    For this recipe you will need:

    • Tempeh: Some store-bought tempeh patties includes various grains so be sure to find gluten-free if desired.
    • BBQ sauce: Use one you enjoy because it is a lot of the flavor in this dish.
    • Yellow onion: Or you can use white onion or sweet onion instead.
    • Bell pepper: Any color will work. You can use red bell pepper, green, yellow, or orange.
    • Fresh garlic cloves
    • Fresh baby spinach
    • Roma tomatoes: Or use another tomato like plum tomato or other garden tomato.
    • Nutritional yeast: This adds a rich, savory, cheesy taste. But you can simply use your favorite vegan cheese shreds if desired.
    • Wraps or tortillas of choice: Be sure to use gluten-free if desired. I try to find whole grain when possible.

    Tip: Black bean are also a great addition to this dish!

    Cuisine: Gluten-Free Option, Vegan
    Servings: 3 wraps

    Ingredients

    • 8 oz. tempeh (gluten-free if desired)
    • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
    • 1/2 yellow onion
    • 1 small bell pepper (any color)
    • 2 cloves garlic

    • 1-2 roma tomatoes
    • Nutritional yeast for sprinkling (or vegan cheese shreds)

    Instructions

    • Crumble tempeh and place in a bowl with BBQ sauce. Stir well and set aside to marinate.
    • Finely dice onion and bell pepper. Mince garlic.
    • In a pan over medium-high heat, sauté onion and bell pepper for about 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
    • Add minced garlic. Stir and sauté 1 minute.
    • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the BBQ tempeh mixture. Stir well and cook 5 minutes until heated through.
    • Assemble wraps: place BBQ tempeh mixture down the center of tortilla. Sprinkle nutritional yeast (or cheese) on top, then add spinach, sliced/chopped tomato, or any other toppings. Roll up with one end tucked in.
