- 3 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 1/2-1 teaspoon salt

For the Cashew Crema:
- 1 cup cashews

Other:

Preparation
-
Add cashews and jalapeno to a small bowl. Pour over boiling water until they're covered. Let sit for 20 min. Prepare the filling in the meantime.
-
To a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Saute for 3-4 min. until onion is soft and translucent. Using your hands, crumble in the tempeh. Add chickpeas, spices, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Cook for 5-6 min. until tempeh and chickpeas have developed a nice golden brown color. Season with more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Squeeze in juice from 1/2 lime.
-
Drain cashews and jalapeno. Add them to a high-speed blender, along with the rest of the crema ingredients. Blend until smooth.
-
Toast tortillas on an open gas flame until charred or in a dry skillet. Assemble by spooning filling on to tortillas. Top with a dollop of cashew crema and fresh cilantro. Serve with a couple lime wedges on the side.
