SIMPLE SEITAN FAJITAS



Simple Seitan Fajitas image

Time 25m

Yield Around 8-10 tortillas worth

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb. seitan (store-bought or homemade)
3 medium sized bell peppers
1 large onion
Optional: 1 jalapeno pepper
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Optional: other vegetables, like zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.
1 cup of cashews (preferably not roasted or salted)
Salt, to taste
4 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
Medium sized tortillas (around 9)
Salsa of choice
Fresh limes
Optional: Avocados or guacamole

Steps:

  • Set the cashews in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Boil the cashews for at least 10 minutes to soften them. Alternatively, you can soak them in room temperature water overnight.
  • In the meantime, cut the peppers and onions into half-moon pieces. Cut the seitan into strips, about two inches long. Seed and dice the jalapeño if using, and chop any other vegetables you want to incorporate.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, peppers, and jalapenos, and stir for about five minutes until they have become more flexible. Add the seitan, soy sauce and vinegar and stir. If you are using other vegetables, you can add them at this time too. Cover and let cook for around 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Prepare the cashew sauce by draining the water from the nuts. Add the remaining ingredients, along with a half cup of water, and blend until smooth.
  • Finish the seitan mixture with a squeeze if fresh lime juice. Serve with the cashew cream and any other desired toppings with tortillas.

  • Distribute two warmed flour tortillas to everyone.

Categories     Peppers

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2-2 cups seitan, sliced into small strips (see notes)
1 medium onion, sliced into 1/2 moons
1/2-1 green pepper, julienned
1 red pepper, julienned
2 tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons tamari
6 whole wheat tortillas

Steps:

  • Heat about 1/4 cup of water (or you can use oil) in a skillet and add the onion. Let it soften 3-5 minutes. If you want to use oil, you can then add the seitan and brown it, but it adds fat and doesn't change the taste.
  • If using water, add the seitan and all remaining ingredients except the tamari. Reduce heat to simmer, cover the pan and let cook 5 minutes.
  • There are two ways to warm the tortillas, which you'll find on the bag; you can wrap them in foil and put in a 300 oven for 5-10 min, or you can just pop them in the microwave wrapped in a tea towel. I use the nuke box.
  • Tilt the skillet and add the tamari, where the juices pool at the bottom. Let the juices mix together, then mix all the juices up with the vegetables. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Place 1/6 of the mixture INCLUDING some juices! in each tortilla and roll up with your favorite fajita method!
  • Enjoy with a side salad.
  • Notes: Try with different colors of peppers, and I like adding steamed greens to mine. You can use homemade seitan, or prepackaged vegetarian mock-meat strips. If you have leftover filling, or want to take it to work/school, the best way is to bring the tortilla and filling separately.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality seitan. The quality of your seitan will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a seitan that is firm and has a good texture.
  • Marinate the seitan. Marinating the seitan will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a soy sauce-based marinade or a citrus-based marinade.
  • Cook the seitan properly. Seitan can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilling, pan-frying, or baking. Be sure to cook the seitan until it is heated through.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will add color and flavor to your fajitas. Choose vegetables that are in season and that you enjoy eating.
  • Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for fajitas include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. You can also add other toppings, such as grilled pineapple or roasted red peppers.

Conclusion:

Seitan fajitas are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover seitan, and they are also a good source of protein and fiber. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make seitan fajitas at home.
