Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Seitan (sliced into strips)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 large Red onion (sliced into strips)
- 6 small Flour tortillas (vegan)
- 1 medium Avocado (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and maple syrup to create the marinade.
Place the sliced seitan into the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
While the seitan marinates, slice the peppers and onion into thin strips.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and let it warm up.
Add the marinated seitan to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove the seitan from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Return the cooked seitan to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
To assemble, place a generous scoop of the seitan and vegetable mixture into each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Steak Fajitas!
