Mexican Seitan image

Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home. I love this as a burrito with beans and a whole wheat tortilla. I use beer instead of oil- it tastes great and is lower in fat. I also used home-made seitan.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium bell pepper
1/2 lb seitan (wheat gluten)

Steps:

  • Saute the onions and garlic in the oil for about 4 minutes, until softened.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The seitan was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. However, I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker.

This recipe is way too spicy for me. I had to tone down the chili powder and cumin.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my seitan turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.
