Ingredients
- • tempeh: 8 ounces, sliced into strips
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • lettuce leaves: 8 large
- • mango: 1, peeled and diced
- • red onion: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
- • red bell pepper: 1/2 cup, diced
- • lime: 1, juiced

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a bowl, toss the tempeh strips with olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic powder until well coated.
- 3 Arrange the tempeh strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crisp.

- 5 To assemble the wraps, place a few strips of air-fried tempeh in each lettuce leaf and top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • These vibrant lettuce wraps are perfect as a light dinner or as part of a larger spread. Pair them with a side of quinoa salad or a simple cucumber and tomato salad to add extra texture and nutrients. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving a chilled herbal iced tea or a sparkling water infused with fresh lime slices. To enhance the tropical flavors, you might also serve a dessert of fresh fruit salad with a sprinkle of shredded coconut. This will add a sweet and satisfying finish to your meal, complementing the tangy and savory notes of the wraps.
Storage Tips
Leftover tempeh and mango salsa can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the crispness of the tempeh, reheat it in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving. The salsa can be refreshed with an extra squeeze of lime juice if needed.
