Seitan Fajitas

This dish is probably one of the favorites in my household right now. The southwest seitan recipe follows the fajita recipe.

Seitan Fajitas

Ingredients:

1 lb. southwest seitan sliced into 3" x 1/2 inch pieces.
2 thinly sliced green, yellow, or red peppers (I use what ever I have available)
1 thinly sliced onion
1 T olive oil
pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 tsp ground adobo pepper (add more if you like it spicier)
Juice of two limes
10 whole grain tortillas

Directions:

I cook this in my electric wok, but any pan will work.

1.  Heat a nonstick pan and add oil.
2.  Saute onions until soft.
3.  Add the peppers, adobo, salt, and pepper and continue to saute until onions are caramelized.
4.  Add the seitan and continue to saute about 2 minutes.
5.  Drizzle lime juice over everything.
6.  Serve in tortillas with salsa, guacamole, vegan cheese, and olives (or what ever you like on fajitas).
