Vegan Fajitas

Vegan fajitas, made with seitan and veggies. They’re so tasty, satiating, easy to prepare and delicious with some tortillas and your favorite toppings.

I’ve been obsessed with these vegan fajitas, the recipe is so simple, they’re extremely flavorful, and they make a wonderful plant-based dinner. I could eat them all day long, though!

A fajita in Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine is any grilled meat that is served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla, which is usually cooked with onions and bell peppers and served with other condiments.

To make my fajitas vegan, I’ve usedseitan, which is really similar to beef (the most common meat used to make fajitas). However, any other meat alternative will work as well, like tofu, tempeh, mushrooms or even beans.

Please feel free to use any veggies you have on hand, but onion and red bell peppers are my favorite ones for this recipe. I’ve used red, green and yellow red bell pepper. However, you don’t need to use 3 different colors, 1 or 2 are okay and also any type of onion will do.

My favorite way to enjoy fajitas is serving then with some flour tortillas, but corn tortillas are really delicious as well (unfortunately I can’t find good quality corn tortillas in my area) and they’re a great option if you’re gluten-free.

Pro tips

• 请随意使用自制或商店购买的麸质。
• 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 orvegetable stockinstead.
• 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.
• 酸橙汁可以用柠檬汁代替。

How do you eat fajitas?

The most delicious and popular way to enjoy fajitas is by taking a flour or corn tortilla, filling it with the fajita filling, adding your favorite toppings and enjoying them with your hands. Feel free to serve them with a side like beans and rice as well.

Can you freeze fajitas?

是的，有很多方法可以冻结它们。首先，按照我的指导烹饪你的墨西哥卷饼，把剩菜放在密封的容器里，冷冻3-6个月。在你吃墨西哥卷的前一天晚上，把容器转移到冰箱里，让它自己解冻，然后再加热。This is my favorite way.

The other way is freezing the ingredients before cooking them. Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined and freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3-6 months. The night before you’re going to cook your fajitas, transfer the container to the fridge to defrost by itself and then cook then according to this recipe directions.
