Smoky Tempeh & Black Bean Enchilada Skillet with Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice

A vibrant Mexican-inspired one-pan dinner featuring crispy marinated tempeh and earthy black beans in a rich ancho-tomato sauce, topped with toasted pumpkin seeds and served over zesty cauliflower rice. Bold, savory, and completely plant-based.

Ingredients

  • 150 g tempeh block, pressed and cubed
  • 3/4 cup black beans (canned), drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp ancho chili powder, smoky depth
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup tomato sauce (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth, low-sodium
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp lime juice, fresh
  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh)
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
  • 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds (raw), unsalted
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Press tempeh block between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cube into 1-inch pieces.
