Ingredients

• 400 grams Seitan strips
• 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 lime Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the seitan strips to the marinade, tossing to ensure they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the seitan is marinating, slice the red onion thinly, halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated seitan strips in a single layer, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to brown and are heated through, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas on a dry pan or directly over a low flame on the stovetop, flipping occasionally until they are warm but not burnt.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked seitan strips onto each warm tortilla.

Step 7

Top with sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado slices.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnishing with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
