Ingredients
BBQ sauce:
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 cup Que Pasa Mexicana Salsa (Mild).
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp Tamari
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4-1/3 cup water
- Salt & pepper
TEMPEH WRAPS:
- 1 package tempeh, cubed
- 2 whole grain wraps
- 3-4 tbsp garlic hummus
- 1 sweet onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 handfuls of lettuce, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced and pitted
- Pea shoots or sprouts, for topping
Instructions
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic until translucent. This will take about 5-7 minutes. At this point, add salsa & remaining spices and ingredients for BBQ sauce. Simmer over low to medium heat for about 5 minutes, adding water if sauce is too thick. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer sauce to a blender and purée.
- In another pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sliced onion. Sauté over medium to medium-high heat, stirring frequently until onions are a deep golden brown color, about 10 minutes
- To cook the tempeh, heat up a skillet and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add tempeh to pan and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes. Pour in half of the BBQ sauce to coat tempeh. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To serve, spread hummus in the middle of each wrap and top with lettuce, tempeh, caramelized onions, avocado, sprouts and extra BBQ sauce if desired. Enjoy!
