Crispy Seitan Tacos: Flavor Explosion in Every Bite!
Seitan tacos: Craft these incredibly flavorful and crispy plant-based tacos in under 20 minutes. Perfect for a quick, satisfying weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 small onion (diced)
- 8 ounces seitan (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 8 hard taco shells
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions for 5 minutes, or until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the seitan, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and lime juice to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Sauté until the seitan is golden brown and warmed through, about ten minutes.
- Fill taco shells with seitan mixture, top with desired accompaniments and serve.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, warm your hard taco shells in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes before filling. - Don't overcrowd the skillet when sautéing the seitan; work in batches if necessary to ensure it browns properly and doesn't steam. - Store leftover seitan filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
