“ Who doesn’t love fajitas? This vegan version is sure to be a hit among friends and family. Make them with rice and/or texturized soy (the result is exactly the same as if using ground meat) and season to taste. Don’t worry if you don’t have any tortillas, make the dish without them and you'll still have an amazing meal. ”

Instructions

1
Cook the rice in a pot with two cups water for every one cup rice, and add a little oil, salt, and garlic. Let cook, about 10 minutes.
2
In the meantime, cut the onion and bell peppers into strips. Start by frying the onions in a skillet for a few minutes, then add the bell peppers. When almost cooked, season (salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika... or a store-bought fajita seasoning mix) and add a little water.
3
Cook the chopped tomato in another skillet, or use the same one, with a little oil, salt, and a pinch of sugar to counter the acidity.
4
Finally, wash the lettuce, warm the tortillas, and assemble your fajitas.

Tips & Tricks

If you want to add Textured Soy Protein, add a little more water to the skillet with the vegetables in step 2 and begin to heat. Once hot, add the Textured Soy Protein and let it hydrate (add about 1/2 a cup).

Your fajitas will be even more amazing with a handful of crunchy fried onion or alfalfa sprouts (super healthy and super delicious).

To make a professional fajita seasoning at home, use 3 tsp salt, 2 tsp spicy paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp curry powder, 1/3 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper (or less), and a pinch of stevia powder. Don’t worry if you don’t have any.

You can add more vegetables if you like (zucchini, eggplant...).
