    Tempeh Avocado Wrap

    This Tempeh Avocado Wrap is made with savory tempeh cooked in tamari, creamy avocado, sweet cranberry sauce, and nutty tahini sauce.

    Tempeh Avocado Wrap on cutting board.

    This Tempeh Avocado Wrap has a balance of flavors and textures. There's crunchy lettuce, creamy avocado, and chewy tempeh.

    It's got an umami flavor from tamari, a sweet flavor from orange cranberry sauce, and a nutty flavor from tahini.

    It is a quick and easy meal. For even more veggies I have a Veggie Wrap with Sriracha, a Vegan Veggie Wrap recipe, and a Thai Veggie Wrap with Peanut Sauce.

    Serve it with some Vegan Pesto Potato Salad, Baked Vegan Onion Rings, or Ranch Kale Chips.

    What Is Tempeh Made Of?

    The most common form of tempeh is made from fermented soybeans. Sometimes it has a mixture of beans and whole grains.

    What Does Tempeh Taste Like?

    Tempeh has an earthy, nutty flavor. It is similar to tofu in that it soaks up the flavors you cook or marinate it in. It has a stronger taste than tofu and is very hearty.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Tempeh Avocado Wrap
    • Tempeh: I used soy tempeh because it is gluten-free.
    • Tamari: I used low sodium gluten-free tamari so that I can control the amount of sodium. Adds an umami flavor.
    • Avocado: Adds a creamy texture.
    • Spinach: I like spinach because it doesn't add a very strong flavor. You could use kale or other greens.
    • Tortillas: I used gluten-free tortillas, but you could use your favorite.
    • Tahini: Adds a nutty sesame flavor.
    • Lemon juice: Adds a bright tart flavor.
    • Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
    • Water: Thins it out the spread.
    • Cranberry Sauce: Adds a tart flavor.
    • Orange juice and zest: Adds a bright orange flavor.
    • Salt: Enhances the other flavors.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Mushrooms, also cooked in tamari

    • Cabbage
