Before I give you the recipe for this nutritiously delicious wrap, I will need to explain a couple of things. I will start with one of the ingredient: tempeh. Many people probably don’t even know what it is or how to pronounce it.
Tempeh is made from cooked and fermented soybeans and formed into a patty or a block. Many times there are other ingredients that are added to tempeh. The one that I am using today has: soybeans, carrots, bell peppers, onions, celery and brown rice. It is very nutritious, low in calories and high in protein and fiber. But don’t worry; you don’t even have to make it yourself. Check with your friendly grocery store, they should carry it in their health foods section. We buy ours at our favorite store: Whole Foods Market. There is no other like it. We don’t even mind driving over 40 miles every other week to get to it to do our grocery shopping.
Secondly, use whole wheat tortillas. The only reason you are going to see white tortillas in my breakfast is because our friendly store did not have any wheat ones this time.
