Make
-
Heat oven to 400 F / 204 C degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
-
Transfer baking dish with tempeh and marinade to the heated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until tempeh is heated through and starting to turn golden around the edges.
-
While tempeh bakes, spread onions, peppers, and garlic onto the lined baking sheet and drizzle with cooking oil. Toss with seasoning mix.
-
When tempeh is done, heat the oven's broiler. Transfer the baking sheet with the vegetables to the oven and broil until nearly tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tempeh to the pan and toss everything together to combine. Return to the oven and broil until the vegetables are tender and tempeh is golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle second portion of lime juice over everything.
-
Warm tortillas according to package directions.
-
Set out lettuce, avocados, tomatoes, sour cream, and hot sauce (if using).
-
Let everyone build their own fajitas with tempeh, vegetables, and their choice of toppings. Enjoy!
