- 400 g Seitan
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 large Lime

- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions
Slice the seitan into thin strips and set aside.
Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into similar-sized strips.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the spice blend.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced seitan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy and golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Return the cooked seitan to the skillet with the veggies. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of one lime over the seitan and veggie mixture. Stir gently.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by adding the seitan and vegetable mixture to each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro, guacamole, and salsa if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Funtastic Seitan Fajitas!
