Method

Shred the cabbage and toss with half the lime and a pinch of salt. Leave it while you cook.
Fry the crumbled tempeh in the oil over a medium-high heat for six minutes until it browns. Add the chipotle, cumin and a splash of water and cook for two minutes more until it coats the crumbs.
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for twenty seconds a side.
Build each one with cabbage, tempeh, salsa, sliced avocado, a spoon of yogurt, coriander and the rest of the lime.

Worth knowing

A hundred grams of tempeh gives 19 g of protein, which is more than the same weight of tofu, at 190 kcal. Crumbled it takes on the chipotle the way mince would.
Thirty grams of avocado is about a quarter of one and 57 kcal. Half an avocado is 133 and easy to add without noticing.
