Tempeh is a high-protein, high fiber soy product traditionally used in Indonesia. It has a satisfying texture and rich flavor that pairs well with a side of black beans and guacamole/salsa as taco toppings.
INGREDIENTS
12 oz package tempeh (refrigerated section at Schnucks, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 red bell pepper
1 white onion
2 cloves of garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
12 corn tortillas
1/2 cup cilantro
1 orange, cut into segments
 
DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut tempeh into short strips and place into a shallow tupperware.
  2. Mix soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and salt in a small bowl and pour over tempeh. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  3. While letting tempeh marinate, slice bell pepper, onion, and garlic, and stir-fry in a large skillet with 1 tsp olive oil.
  4. Remove veggies and place in a small bowl. Coat same skillet with remaining olive oil and pan-fry strips of tempeh, about 2-3 minutes each side or until crispy.
  5. Warm tortillas in the oven at 200F wrapped in foil or in a dry skillet or wrapped in paper towel in the microwave.
  6. Build tacos: scoop tempeh strips and vegetables onto heated tortilla and top with orange segments, and cilantro.

I have been at Strongside for close to two months. I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend Nutriformance for everyone who is looking for a place to belong.

This is the best lifters gym I've ever been to. There is an almost overwhelming amount of equipment on the upper level.

I like the variety of exercises and intensities, but my favorite part is the technology that allows me to hold myself accountable for my effort and performance.

Great local gym. Lots of weights and machines, friendly staff, and not too crowded.

I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

I couldn’t recommend Alexis (massage therapist) enough. She is kind, professional and knowledgeable every time I see her. She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training. The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks. If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
