Ingredients

• 16 ounces seitan
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 4 pieces large tortillas
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Slice the seitan into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the seitan is marinating, warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave until pliable.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated seitan along with any remaining marinade to the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the seitan for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are slightly crispy and the seitan is heated through.

Step 6

Lay each tortilla flat, and start layering the ingredients: add 1/2 cup of rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, cooked seitan, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, a few slices of avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and a handful of shredded lettuce.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Step 8

Carefully roll each tortilla into a burrito shape by folding in the sides and then rolling up from the bottom to securely enclose the filling.

Step 9

Cut the burritos in half if desired, and serve immediately.
