Ingredients

• 300 grams vegan chicken strips (Veat or similar brand)
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 whole green bell pepper
• 1 whole yellow bell pepper
• 1 whole red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 8 whole tortillas (flour or corn)
• 1 whole avocado, sliced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup vegan sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the red onion into similar thin strips.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the vegan chicken strips to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan and toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened but still slightly crisp.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano to the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the vegan chicken strips to the pan and add the soy sauce and lime juice. Stir everything together and cook for 2 more minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with a generous portion of the vegan chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with optional garnishes like avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and vegan sour cream, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Chicken Fajitas!
