Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, sliced into thin strips
• 2 tablespoons liquid amino acid supplement
• 2 pita breads, cut in half
• soy mayonnaise
• 4 thin slices Swiss cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh slices and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until they start to brown. Pour in half of the liquid aminos and cook for 1 minute. Flip the tempeh slices and cook until toasted, 3 to 4 more minutes. Pour in the remaining liquid aminos and cook for 1 minute. Remove the tempeh, and set it aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Cook the onion, green pepper, and jalapeno until the vegetables have softened, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Spread each pita half with 1 teaspoon soy mayonnaise. Stuff each pita with several slices of tempeh, peppers and onions, and a piece of Swiss cheese. Toast the sandwiches in a toaster oven for 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
