Funtastic Seitan Fajitas Recipes

SEITAN FAJITAS

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.

"BEEFY" SEITAN LOG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together the liquid ingredients in a smaller bowl, then stir them into the dry ingredients until completely blended. Knead the dough in the bowl for a couple minutes, then place on a sheet of foil and shape into a log about 6 to 8 inches long. Wrap the foil tightly around the log and twist the ends.
• Bake for 80 minutes (this will be firm with a slightly crispy outside -- if you like your seitan a little "spongy", maybe bake for 60 to 70 minutes).
• Slice or chop as desired, and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer.

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.
