Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams plant-based chicken strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, sliced green bell pepper
- 1 medium, sliced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 medium, juiced lime
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup, roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 medium, sliced ripe avocado
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and the sliced yellow onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the plant-based chicken strips. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strips are golden brown.
Add the cooked bell peppers and onions back into the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the fajita mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Top with a dollop of sour cream, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
