Ingredients

• 300 grams plant-based chicken strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced green bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 medium, juiced lime
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup, roughly chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 medium, sliced ripe avocado
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and the sliced yellow onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 3

Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the plant-based chicken strips. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strips are golden brown.

Step 5

Add the cooked bell peppers and onions back into the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the fajita mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Top with a dollop of sour cream, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
