Ingredients
-
2 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
-
½ small onion, diced
-
8 ounces seitan, chopped
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
Juice of ½ lime
-
8 hard taco shells
Instructions
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
-
Add the chopped seitan, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and lime juice.
-
Stir well to coat the seitan with the seasonings.
-
Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is golden brown and heated through.
-
Warm the taco shells according to the package directions, if desired.
-
Fill each taco shell with the seasoned seitan mixture.
-
Add your favorite taco toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Chop evenly: Cut the seitan into small, bite-sized pieces so it browns evenly and works well as a taco filling.
-
Don’t rush the onions: Cooking them until soft and translucent builds a flavorful base for the filling.
-
Let it brown: Give the seitan enough time in the skillet to develop golden edges and a deeper flavor.
-
Adjust the lime: Add a little more lime juice if you prefer a brighter, more citrusy taco filling.
