Ingredients

• 300 grams Seitan (sliced into strips)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 large Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 large Red onion (sliced into strips)
• 6 small Flour tortillas (vegan)
• 1 medium Avocado (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and maple syrup to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the sliced seitan into the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.

Step 3

While the seitan marinates, slice the peppers and onion into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and let it warm up.

Step 5

Add the marinated seitan to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove the seitan from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked seitan to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

Step 8

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

Step 9

To assemble, place a generous scoop of the seitan and vegetable mixture into each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Steak Fajitas!
