Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Seitan (vegetarian steak)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 small Red onion, diced
- 0.5 cups Cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cups Fresh salsa
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Slice the seitan into thin strips and place it in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the seitan, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the edges are crispy and slightly charred.
While the seitan cooks, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of cooked seitan in each tortilla.
Top with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of fresh salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Steak Street Tacos!
