Such a satisfying sandwich! And a great way to use tempeh. I took the advice of other reviewers and briefly marinated the tempeh in soy sauce (for as long as it took me to prepare the rest of the sandwich), then fried it in olive oil before I added it to the sandwich and fried that. Will make these often!

I loved this recipe! At first, just before I added the rice to the veggies and beans, I was afraid they would be too dry after baking, but no way! I made them exactly as the recipe states, except that I didn't have the special tomatoes called for so I just added a 4oz can of green chilis along w/regular diced tomatoes, and I used some of the salsa in place of the picante sauce (didn't have that, either). They had a bit of a pleasant bite, but not overly spicy, and the cilantro added exactly the perfect flavor to the finished product. Great recipe!

We love this recipe! The only things I change/add is to replace the tomato paste with a healthy squeeze of ketchup (just because I don't usually keep a tube of paste on hand for smaller amts) and I also add about 1 tsp salt. I do cut down a little on the chili powder, but not much since I think it adds to the whole "sloppy joe" flavor of this dish. We like to serve it with cheddar cheese and pickles on the buns...Mmmm! Super easy, super tasty, and healthy!
