Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy curls, rehydrated
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh lime juice for serving
- Guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Begin by rehydrating the soy curls. Place 1 cup of soy curls in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 10-15 minutes until they become soft and pliable. Once rehydrated, drain and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
- While the soy curls are rehydrating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips. You can use any color of bell pepper you prefer (red, yellow, or green) for added color and flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to become translucent.
- Add the sliced bell pepper to the skillet with the onions. Continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Next, add the rehydrated soy curls to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the soy curls are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Cook the mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soy curls are heated through and slightly crispy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- While the fajita filling is cooking, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a warm oven.
- Once everything is ready, assemble your fajitas. Place a generous portion of the soy curl and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top with fresh lime juice and serve with guacamole on the side. You can also add additional toppings such as salsa, vegan sour cream, or fresh cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Vegan Fajitas with Soy Curls!
Tips
- Rehydrate with Care: Make sure to soak the soy curls in hot water for the full 10-15 minutes to achieve the best texture. Squeeze out excess moisture gently to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Colorful Vegetables: Don’t hesitate to mix and match bell peppers! Using a combination of red, yellow, and green not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a variety of flavors to your fajitas.
- Perfectly Sautéed: Keep an eye on the onions and peppers while sautéing. You want them tender yet still crisp for that perfect bite.
- Seasoning is Key: Feel free to adjust the fajita seasoning to your taste. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños for an extra kick!
- Warm Tortillas: Warming the tortillas is essential for flexibility and flavor. You can also wrap them in a clean kitchen towel after warming to keep them soft until serving.
- Toppings Galore: Customize your fajitas with a variety of toppings! Fresh lime juice, guacamole, salsa, or even vegan sour cream can elevate your dish to a whole new level.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These fajitas can be prepped ahead of time. Just store the filling in the fridge and warm everything up when you’re ready to eat!Enjoy the cooking experience and savor every bite of your delicious Vegan Fajitas with Soy Curls!
