Instructions
  1. For the tempeh taco filling:
  2. Remove the tempeh from the package and crumble into small pieces.
  3. Combine the cumin, coriander, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Heat the oil over medium heat. Add half the onion (reserve the other half for taco filling), and cook until soft (about 5 minutes). Add the tempeh and cook for about two more minutes.
