Chipotle Hummus Sandwich with Smoky Tempeh Bacon
A quick and easy sandwich with spicy chipotle hummus, smoky tempeh bacon, and fresh veggies. Plant-based, fiber- and protein-packed, and just 7 ingredients and 15 minutes required!
Servings 1 (Sandwich)
Ingredients
- 3-4 Tbsp chipotle hummus (or sub store-bought)
- 3 slices tempeh bacon (or sub store-bought such as Lightlife)
- 2 slices sandwich bread of choice (find our gluten-free bread recipe here)
- 6 slices fresh cucumber
- 1-2 slices fresh tomato
- 3 slices ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts (or sub greens of choice)
Instructions
- If using homemade chipotle hummus and tempeh bacon, prepare them first. They can be made up to 3-4 days in advance. Otherwise, use store-bought tempeh bacon and cook according to package instructions.
- Toast bread (if desired) and slice the sandwich toppings (cucumber, tomato, avocado).
- Assemble sandwich by spreading chipotle hummus on one slice of bread, then layer (in this order) cucumber, tempeh bacon, sprouts, tomato, avocado, and remaining slice of bread. Enjoy!
- Best when fresh, but the hummus and tempeh bacon will keep stored separately for 3-4 days if you want to prep them ahead and assemble sandwiches when ready for quick weekday lunches!
