Ingredients

• 300 grams Plant-based beef strips
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 Large onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 Small tortillas
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 Avocado
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and cores.

Step 2

Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the sliced bell peppers to the onions and continue to stir occasionally for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the plant-based beef strips. Cook for about 3 minutes until they are browned, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Sprinkle garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the plant-based beef and vegetables. Stir everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the spices.

Step 8

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the fajita mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Warm the tortillas on a separate pan or microwave them for about 20 seconds until they are pliable.

Step 10

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of the vegetable and plant-based beef mixture onto each tortilla.

Step 11

Top with sliced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, and, if desired, a dollop of sour cream and salsa.

Step 12

Serve immediately while warm.
