flat dish. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for several hours,
turning tempeh occasionally.

Drain tempeh. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a mediumsized skillet over moderate
heat. Brown tempeh on both sides, adding an additional tablespoon oil if
necessary. Add stock or water and cover pan tightly. Steam until liquid is
almost absorbed, then add soy sauce and turn tempeh to coat. Cover and cook
away remaining liquid. Remove tempeh from pan and cut into thin strips.

Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil or place in a tightly covered pan. Warm in
a moderate oven for several minutes. Remove from oven. Arrange tempeh
strips down the middle of each tortilla, spoon Pico de Gallo on top, and
fold or roll up. Serve immediately with extra sauce. Makes 4 fajitas.
