Ingredients

• 300 grams Seitan (vegetarian steak)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 small Red onion, diced
• 0.5 cups Cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cups Fresh salsa
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Slice the seitan into thin strips and place it in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the seitan, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the edges are crispy and slightly charred.

Step 4

While the seitan cooks, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred.

Step 5

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of cooked seitan in each tortilla.

Step 6

Top with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of fresh salsa.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Steak Street Tacos!
