Ingredients

• 1 cup Seitan (or store-bought vegan chicken strips)
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1 whole Avocado, sliced
• 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Cut the seitan into thin strips if using whole seitan. Add the seitan into the bowl with the spice mixture and toss until the seitan is evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned seitan strips.

Step 4

Sauté the seitan strips for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and heated through.

Step 5

While the seitan is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until just warmed through and pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, start by laying out a warm tortilla. Add a generous scoop of the cooked seitan to the center.

Step 7

Top the seitan with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, quartered cherry tomatoes, and a couple of slices of avocado.

Step 8

Finish by squeezing a lime wedge over the top of the assembled taco for a fresh zing.

Step 9

Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Step 10

Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, along with additional lime wedges if desired.
