The Dish 
It may sound exotic, but this meal prep-worthy Tempeh Burrito Bowl is perfect for mid-week lunches (or other meals), and can be customized based on what you have on hand.  Oh, and it is absolutely delicious!

Native to Indonesia, tempeh is a high protein soy product made of fermented soybeans. It is often found in the vegetarian section of your grocery store alongside tofu. It has a hearty texture and is full of flavor. In this recipe, it’s simply roasted, but it is delicious crumbled into tacos or meatless pasta sauces too.  Can’t find tempeh? Try extra firm tofu instead!
