Ingredients

• 400 g Seitan
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Lime juice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
• 1 medium Onion
• 4 Large flour tortillas (vegan)
• 2 cups Cooked rice
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Guacamole
• 1 cup Pico de gallo
• 1 tbsp Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, finely minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Slice the seitan into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors, stirring occasionally to coat evenly.

Step 3

3. While the seitan is marinating, finely chop the onion and fresh cilantro. Set aside.

Step 4

4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated seitan along with the marinade. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the seitan is browned and slightly crispy around the edges.

Step 5

5. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they become pliable.

Step 6

6. To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add about 1/2 cup of cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, a generous portion of cooked seitan, a dollop of guacamole, and a spoonful of pico de gallo. Sprinkle with chopped onions and cilantro.

Step 7

7. Optionally, add a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.

Step 8

8. Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to make a burrito.

Step 9

9. Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 10

10. Serve the burritos warm, or wrap them in foil for a portable meal.
