Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, crumble the tempeh and stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, ensuring they are well distributed.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
- Introduce the tempeh and chipotle mixture to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the tempeh is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- While the tempeh mixture cooks, warm the whole wheat wraps in the oven or on a skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable.
- Spread a generous layer of salsa on each wrap to add moisture and flavor.
- Divide the tempeh mixture evenly among the wraps, then top with slices of creamy avocado.
- Carefully roll up each wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
Tips
- For extra heat, add more chipotle peppers or a dash of hot sauce to the tempeh mixture.
- Try substituting the spinach with kale or arugula for a different flavor profile.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like shredded carrots or cucumber for extra crunch.
