Ingredients
- 120 grams Butler soy curls (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or high heat oil of choice), divided
- ½ medium red onion, sliced into strips
- 1 small red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 small green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 6 (7-inch - fajita sized) flour tortillas
- Salsa
- Cashew sour cream (or store bought vegan sour cream)
Instructions
- Place the soy curls into a medium bowl and pour the broth over them. Let the soy curls soak for about 10 minutes.
- While the soy curls soak, mix the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl: lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, ancho chile powder, and garlic.
- Add the marinade to the bowl with the soy curls and toss to coat.
- Coat the bottom of a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil and place it over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the soy curls in an even layer, along with any excess liquid in the bowl.
- Let the soy curls cook for about 5 minutes, until the excess liquid has reduced and the soy curls are browned and crisp in spots, flipping them once or twice during cooking.
- Remove the soy curls from the skillet and transfer them to a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and raise the heat to high.
- Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the onion and peppers. Cook the veggies, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium and return the soy curls to the skillet. Flip everything a few times to distribute the ingredients, and cook the mixture for just a minute to reheat the soy curls.
- Remove the skillet from the burner and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Divide the filling among the tortilla and top with cashew sour cream and/or salsa. Serve.
