Mexican Seitan Fajitas

Vegetarian fajitas with seitan

Colorful seitan fajitas look just like real meat, but are, of course, lower in fat and cholesterol-free. Wrap these vegetarian fajitas in a flour tortilla and serve with Mexican rice and beans for a complete meal.

I made these for 3 omnivores - all of our first times cooking with seitan - and I think we all enjoyed them more than meat fajitas. They were fantastic. At the end I added some fresh cilantro and a splash of fresh lime juice. So tasty! I will definitely be cooking with seitan more often.
