Ingredients

• 12 ounces seitan steak strips
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
• 2 pieces medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 piece avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Add the seitan steak strips to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the seitan marinates, prepare the lime-cilantro rice by stirring the lime zest and chopped fresh cilantro into the cooked rice. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are lightly charred and heated through.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos by placing a portion of lime-cilantro rice on each tortilla, followed by a portion of the cooked seitan.

Step 7

Top with black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sour cream (if using), and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 8

Roll the tortillas tightly into a burrito, folding in the sides as you go to encase the filling.

Step 9

Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Chipotle Steak Burrito!
