For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the seitan mixture during the last few minutes of cooking. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your desired level of spiciness. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will work, but the smoked version adds a wonderful depth of flavor. To make ahead, the seitan and vegetable mixture can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving. Experiment with different vegetables! Zucchini, mushrooms, or poblano peppers would all be delicious additions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Vegetables: Slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepSauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
03
StepAdd Seitan and Seasoning: Add the seitan strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and add the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04
StepCook and Stir: Cook, stirring frequently, until the seitan is heated through and the spices are fragrant, about 5-8 minutes. Ensure the seitan is nicely coated with the seasoning and has a slight sizzle.
05
StepWarm the Tortillas: While the seitan filling is cooking, warm the tortillas according to package directions. This can be done in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
06
StepAssemble and Serve: Spoon the seitan and vegetable mixture onto each warm tortilla. Fold or roll the tortilla around the filling. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, vegan sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
