Ingredients:

• 8 oz tempeh, sliced into thin strips
• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small cucumber, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 4 whole wheat tortillas
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, marinate the tempeh strips in teriyaki sauce for at least 10 minutes to ensure the flavors are well-absorbed.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally.
3. While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the veggies: julienne the cucumber and bell pepper, shred the carrot, and lettuce.
4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
5. To assemble the wraps, place a portion of cooked tempeh on each tortilla. Top with cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and lettuce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired. Roll up the tortillas tightly, securing them with a toothpick if necessary.
7. Serve immediately, while the tempeh is still warm and the veggies are fresh and crunchy.

Helpful Tips:

• For beginners, pre-sliced tempeh can save time and ensure even cooking.
• You can make the teriyaki sauce from scratch by combining soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and garlic for a more personalized flavor.
• Add some spice by incorporating sriracha or chili flakes into the wrap.

Storage Instructions:

Store the tempeh and veggies separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to maintain the fresh crunch of the vegetables.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Replace whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
• If you’re out of tempeh, extra-firm tofu can be a great substitute.

Pairings:

• Pair these wraps with a side of miso soup for a cozy, complete meal.
• A refreshing cucumber salad with sesame dressing complements the rich flavors of the teriyaki tempeh perfectly.
• For drinks, green tea or a light, citrusy mocktail would be a great match.
