Ingredients
- 400 grams Seitan strips
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro

Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the seitan strips to the marinade, tossing to ensure they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the seitan is marinating, slice the red onion thinly, halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated seitan strips in a single layer, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to brown and are heated through, stirring occasionally.
Warm the corn tortillas on a dry pan or directly over a low flame on the stovetop, flipping occasionally until they are warm but not burnt.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked seitan strips onto each warm tortilla.
Top with sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado slices.
Serve immediately, garnishing with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
