Easy 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.

EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 6 medium tortillas in foil.
• Mix 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and 4-5 drops Tabasco together in a bowl with a big pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Stir 2 finely sliced chicken breasts, 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 finely sliced red chilli, if using, into the marinade.
• Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.
• Keep everything moving over a high heat for about 5 mins using tongs until you get a nice charred effect. If your griddle pan is small you may need to do this in two batches.
• To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half - if any part is still raw cook until done.
• Put the tortillas in the oven to heat up and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one 230g tub of fresh salsa.

• 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.
