Baked Tempeh Enchiladas

"This recipe was brought to a potluck by our President, Ken Jaffe, at his home in 2007. It was requested to be added to our cookbook here. He adapted the recipe from Some Like It Hot: 200 Spicy Vegetarian Recipes from Around the World by Robin Robertson. NOTE: One of our members made the recipe as it was posted originally and when it didn't turn out as she remembered, contacted Ken, who said "when it comes to spices, I never follow a recipe exactly." Since then, attempts have been made to document what Ken changed about it and they are reflected here now."

  1. Phenomenal! My husband was apprehensive about tempeh but you couldn't taste it in this recipe and the texture in the enchiladas was perfect. I highly recommend this recipe.
