Discover how to make easy, healthy, and delicious seitan tacos with bold flavors and simple ingredients. Perfect for any vegan meal!
Ingredients
For the Seitan Filling:
- 2 cups seitan sliced or crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
For the Tacos:
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 avocado sliced or mashed into guacamole
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
- 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1/2 cup vegan sour cream or cheese optional
- Lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, then drizzle in some olive oil. Sauté the seitan, taco seasoning, bell pepper, and onion for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the seitan is heated through and coated with the spices.
- While the filling cooks, warm the tortillas using one of the following methods:
- Heat them gently in a dry skillet set to medium.
- Wrap them in a slightly damp towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds until heated through.
- Place the seitan filling onto each tortilla. Top with your choice of ingredients, such as avocado, salsa, shredded lettuce, and vegan sour cream. Top with a splash of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
- Place the tacos on a serving platter and serve them right away for the best flavor. For a complete meal, pair with sides like Mexican rice or beans.
Notes
- Make it Gluten-Free: Replace the seitan with jackfruit, tofu, or black beans for a gluten-free alternative.
- Storage: Store leftover seitan filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before assembling tacos.
- Customize Toppings: Feel free to add roasted corn, pickled jalapeños, or vegan queso for extra flavor.
