If you like Mexican vegetarian food, try these vegetarian tacos made with seasoned pan-fried seitan, roasted vegetables, and traditional taco toppings.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 16-ounce package prepared seitan , chopped into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 zucchini (quartered)
1 red bell pepper (quartered)
5 mushrooms (try baby portobello or button)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
8-10 corn tortillas
1/2 tomato, diced
1/2 cup guacamole (optional)
Method
1
Gather the ingredients.
2
Saute seitan strips in one tablespoon of oil until well browned, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they cook evenly.
3
Stir in soy sauce, chipotle, paprika, cumin, and chili powder and heat, stirring to combine well, for just another minute or two.
4
Place the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms in a medium bowl and toss with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Arrange the veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet and place under a broiler until they begin to brown and are cooked through about 10 to 15 minutes.
6
To make your seitan and roasted vegetable tacos, warm the corn tortillas. Top each tortilla with a few of the veggies and a few pieces of sliced seitan. Top with sliced tomato, homemade guacamole or other taco fixings: sour cream, shredded lettuce, fresh chopped cilantro, salsa or hot sauce. Flour tortillas could also be used instead of corn tortillas for more of a fajita -style dish if you prefer.
