Top the tempeh with one-quarter of the pickled vegetables, a few pieces of fresh cilantro (to taste), and two lettuce leaves using a slotted spoon. Serve the sandwiches with their tops.
If you're serving these to people with varying heat tolerances, top the spice lovers' sandwiches with sliced jalapenos.
