Best 5 Seitan Fajitas Recipes

SIMPLE SEITAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Set the cashews in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Boil the cashews for at least 10 minutes to soften them. Alternatively, you can soak them in room temperature water overnight.
• In the meantime, cut the peppers and onions into half-moon pieces. Cut the seitan into strips, about two inches long. Seed and dice the jalapeño if using, and chop any other vegetables you want to incorporate.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, peppers, and jalapenos, and stir for about five minutes until they have become more flexible. Add the seitan, soy sauce and vinegar and stir. If you are using other vegetables, you can add them at this time too. Cover and let cook for around 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Prepare the cashew sauce by draining the water from the nuts. Add the remaining ingredients, along with a half cup of water, and blend until smooth.
• Finish the seitan mixture with a squeeze if fresh lime juice. Serve with the cashew cream and any other desired toppings with tortillas.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add seitan, soy sauce, garlic, chili powder, paprika, and cumin; cook and stir until seitan is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Spoon seitan filling onto each tortilla and fold tortilla around filling.

EASY SEITAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Cut the seitan into narrow strips about 2 inches in length. In a mixing bowl, gently toss with the lime juice, olive oil, and chili powder
• Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the seitan mixture and bell pepper strips. Turn the heat up to medium high and cook, stirring often, until the seitan is sizzling hot and the bell peppers are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Place the lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, and/or picante sauce in separate serving bowls.
• Distribute two warmed flour tortillas to everyone.
• To assemble the fajitas, have everyone place a few strips of the seitan and peppers mixtures in the center of their tortillas and garnish them as they wish. Fold one side of the tortilla over the other and pick up to eat out of hand.

FUNTASTIC SEITAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat about 1/4 cup of water (or you can use oil) in a skillet and add the onion. Let it soften 3-5 minutes. If you want to use oil, you can then add the seitan and brown it, but it adds fat and doesn't change the taste.
• If using water, add the seitan and all remaining ingredients except the tamari. Reduce heat to simmer, cover the pan and let cook 5 minutes.
• There are two ways to warm the tortillas, which you'll find on the bag; you can wrap them in foil and put in a 300 oven for 5-10 min, or you can just pop them in the microwave wrapped in a tea towel. I use the nuke box.
• Tilt the skillet and add the tamari, where the juices pool at the bottom. Let the juices mix together, then mix all the juices up with the vegetables. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Place 1/6 of the mixture INCLUDING some juices! in each tortilla and roll up with your favorite fajita method!
• Enjoy with a side salad.
• Notes: Try with different colors of peppers, and I like adding steamed greens to mine. You can use homemade seitan, or prepackaged vegetarian mock-meat strips. If you have leftover filling, or want to take it to work/school, the best way is to bring the tortilla and filling separately.
