These vegan Californian tempeh tacos with cashew queso will transport you to a surf-side taco shack on a sunny beach. A tempeh ‘meat’ forms the base of these tacos, and gets topped with cashew queso, avocado, jalapenos, and salsa. It’s October! My favourite month. Not too hot, not too cold, plus the fall colours are…
