Ingredients
For the marinade:
- ½ pound of seitan sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1-2 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For the veggies:
- ½ red onion julienned
- ½ green bell pepper julienned
- ½ yellow bell pepper julienned
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all the marinade ingredients to a bowl and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes, ideally for 2 hours or even overnight.
- Drain the seitan, but don't discard the marinade. Cook the seitan in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
- Add the veggies (onion and peppers), salt and marinade to the skillet. Stir and cook over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown. Add some oil if needed.
- Add the cooked seitan to the skillet, stir and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Serve immediately.
- Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 5-7 days or in the freezer for up to 3-6 months.
Notes
- Feel free to use homemade or store-bought seitan.
- If you can't eat gluten, use any other meat alternative like tofu, tempeh, mushrooms or even legumes instead of the seitan.
- Use any veggies or oil you have on hand. If you're oil-free, use some water or vegetable stock instead.
- If you don't like your food spicy, just omit the red pepper flakes. You can also add any other ingredient to make your fajitas spicy like sriracha, jalapeños, cayenne powder, etc.
- Lime juice can be replaced by lemon juice.
