Build your tacos by placing greens on the tortilla. Top with 1-2 slices of tempeh, sliced avocado, and pickled radishes. Spread 1 teaspoon of coconut yogurt and tomatillo salsa, top with scallions (optional cilantro and jalapeno), and sprinkle generously with veta cheese. Serve with lime wedge on the side.
