Very good! Used lettuce wraps instead of tortillas and also marinated the tempeh while prepping everything else. Very refreshing.

This is my first time eating Trader Joes tempeh. Thought I would make it for myself before serving it to my bf. Had to add more spices and ate it with rice and kimchi. It was good but I'd say I'm not a big fan of tempeh.

Excellent dinner! My best tempeh recipe yet! I will use it again. I used fresh mushrooms, so required a bit more soy/lime/oil for them. Instead of soy sauce I used liquid aminos (non-GMO soy). The rest was the same. Delicious!

Result was good but not as flavorful as I had hoped. Happy to eat these but probably wouldn't make again (then again, I'm not a huge fajita fan to begin with).

You should DEFINITELY marinate the tempeh. you might also want to add more garlic. this is really a delicious meal, and filling and healthy to boot!

Really great! I served mine on top of rice with black beans, sort of like a burrito bowl. Love all the flavors together, will definitely make again.

I used Seitan instead of Tempeh and it was very good. I also marinated the "meat" in the soy/lime juice for about 30 min. I put mushrooms, onions, and green pepper in my mix and had lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, salsa and yogurt as toppings. Can't wait to make it again.

Delicious! Didn't have mushrooms, cilantro or chile peppers. I too marinated it in soy sauce/lime/minced garlic and other seasonings (chicken wing marinade, rosemary, pepper, cayenne, crushed red pep and red pep flakes etc) for about 45 min and stirred it up whenever I thought about it. Word to the wise, I had to make at LEAST twice the amount of sauce this recipe required, I like it juicy. I marinated it in soy/lime/garlic and then made a totally different batch of the soy concoction and used that to add to the pan when I was ready for the tempeh. I put the spinach in last by letting it wilt on top of the food in the pan, then stirred. Came out suprisingly good, when I taste tested the sauce I was afraid it would come out too salty, but it had the right amount of heat and salt. Great! I did add a bit of water before I added the spinach. People talked about it being dry and I don't like dry fajitas. I just ate one. DELICIOUS. About to get another!

A good basic dish, but I definitely made some modifications. As many recommended, I marinated the tempeh beforehand, which made it very flavorful. Instead of using green bell peppers (neither my significant other nor I are fans), I used red and yellow bell peppers, nixed the mushrooms and spinach, and used 1 clove of garlic and 3/4 of a white onion instead of using onion powder. Since I didn't have corn oil on hand, I used canola oil, which worked out wonderfully. I added the cilantro after cooking the dish (since I think raw cilantro looks prettier and imparts a more distinct flavor than cooked cilantro) along with a scallion that I had in the fridge. I served the dish with sliced avocado atop, fresh salsa, Mexican rice, and corn tortillas. My boyfriend said it was better than our favorite local Mexican restaurant's fajitas!

Made these fajitas and thought they tasted OK. Used the leftover tempeh filling the next day to make quesadillas and they were fantastic! I used fresh corn tortillas and cheddar cheese along with the tempeh mix and had a great quick lunch.
