How to Prepare Spicy Grilled Tempeh Tacos With Homemade Sour Cream [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Brush the tempeh with the bean paste and then grill.
Lightly grill tortillas for about 30 seconds/side.
To make the sour cream, put all ingredients in a high-speed blender and run until very smooth. Then set out in a covered glass container to culture for at least 24 hours. Taste for sourness. Colder climates will require more time. 24 hours at 85°F is about perfect. Refrigerate until thickened.
To make the beans, roast your garlic or pan fry them whole in a skillet until brown. Then cook the beans a minute or two longer than normal, drain, but reserve your bean juice.
Mash the garlic cloves with a fork, then add the beans and spices over low heat. Allow them to simmer for a couple minutes while you go to work with a potato masher. Add the lime juice, olive oil, and bean juice to keep the mixture soft and workable.
Assemble tacos and add pico de gallo and guacamole.

Notes

Rejuvelac is a fermented liquid you can buy online or make at home.
