Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams vegan chicken strips (Veat or similar brand)
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 whole green bell pepper
- 1 whole yellow bell pepper
- 1 whole red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 whole tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 whole avocado, sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup vegan sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the red onion into similar thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the vegan chicken strips to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan and toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened but still slightly crisp.
Add the minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano to the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the vegan chicken strips to the pan and add the soy sauce and lime juice. Stir everything together and cook for 2 more minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with a generous portion of the vegan chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with optional garnishes like avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and vegan sour cream, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Chicken Fajitas!
