PROS

These tacos are packed with plant-based protein and flavor.

CONS

Tempeh may not be readily available in some grocery stores and might require an extra trip to the health food store or specialty shop.

While tempeh is a great source of plant-based protein, it has a distinct taste and texture that some people may not enjoy.

These tacos require a little bit of prep work, so they may not be a good option for a last-minute dinner.
