I'm really proud of myself for this one. I used to love getting Mexican Pizzas at Taco Bell. I haven't had one in years. So, I spent a few days concocting this recipe.

Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake, originating from Indonesia. You can find it at your health food store, if you can't find it at your regular grocery store. We aren't vegetarians, but sometimes it's nice to have a vegetarian meal. Helps save on the calories. Tempeh is a great meat substitute. If you chop it up right, it can have a similar consistency to ground meat.

Also, I'm pretty sure the tortillas Taco Bell uses for this are deep fried to make them crispy. I baked mine.

Submitted by PISCESWOMAN87

I used to get wonderful tempeh scallopini in Denver. This isn't quite it, but it's the best substitute so far. The restaurant served it on mashed potatoes with a side of cooked greens.

This recipe is a great way to introduce tofu to people who have never had it or claim to hate it. My family didn't even realize it wasn't just eggs. You may want to reduce the red pepper if you don't like spice. My little one said it was a bit spicy...but it was nothing he couldn't handle with the help of a little milk! To reduce the calories, you could use a different crust, like one made of rice or hashbrowns. I stuck with the flaky pie crust to give it a true quiche taste, since I was altering the filling. =)
