Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Start the tempeh
- Crumble the tempeh into ¼-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan, combine the tempeh and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the tempeh, transfer to a plate, and pat dry with a paper towel. Wipe the pan dry. While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the salsa.
2
Make the cucumber-grape salsa
- Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ¼-inch pieces.
- Remove any stems from the grapes; cut the grapes into quarters.
- Peel and finely chop the onion. Set aside all except ¼ cup [½ cup] onion for finishing the tempeh.
- Juice the lime.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, grapes, ¼ cup [½ cup] onion, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lime juice. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper and more lime juice, if desired. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
3
Cook the onion; crisp the tempeh
In the same pan used to soften the tempeh, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the remaining onion and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tempeh, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the smoky chili spice blend and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and the tempeh is crisp and well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the chipotle-cashew sauce.
4
Finish the chipotle-cashew sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the chipotle-cashew sauce base and 1 to 2 tablespoons very hot water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
On a large plate or 2 individual plates, spread the tortilla chips in a single layer. Top with the tempeh and as many pickled jalapeños as you like. Spoon the chipotle-cashew sauce and cucumber-grape salsa over the nachos and serve.
