Key Components for the Perfect Wrap
Homemade BBQ Sauce
Skip the store-bought versions loaded with refined sugar! My homemade blender BBQ sauce recipe gives you complete control over the ingredients while delivering that perfect sweet-and-tangy flavor.
Baked BBQ Tempeh
Once you’ve got your sauce ready, preparing the baked tempeh is super easy! You just slice, coat, and bake! This fermented soy protein adds a satisfying meaty texture and makes these wraps incredibly filling.
Fresh Veggie Coleslaw
While the coleslaw requires a bit more preparation, it’s absolutely worth the effort! The crisp vegetables provide the perfect contrast to the meaty tempeh. And, you’ll find helpful time-saving tips at the end of the recipe.
