Directions
01
Coarsely grate tempeh. In large skillet, heat oil until shimmering. Add tempeh and sauteu0301 over medium-high heat, stirring often and breaking up any large pieces so tempeh is fully crumbly. Mixture should look like coarse ground beef. Stir in garlic, seasonings, and tomato sauce until evenly distributed. Simmer briefly to marry flavours. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to bowl.
02
Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Place tortillas on baking sheet and brush each with oil. For each pizza to be the same, divide tempeh mixture evenly among tortillas along with green pepper, cherry tomatoes, olives, and mozzarella.
03
Bake in oven until piping hot and cheese is melted. Remove and scatter with avocado and cilantro. Cool slightly and serve.
