Ingredients
Scale
For the fajitas:
- 8 oz seitan
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 Portobello mushrooms, sliced into strips
- 2 Tbsp fajita or taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup enchilada sauce
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup guacamole, to serve
For the Creamy Cilantro Pepita Dressing:
- 1/2 cup pepitas
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 cup cilantro, tightly packed
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp dairy-free mayo
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prepare the seitan and vegetables: On a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat, place the seitan, bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Toss with the seasoning and the enchilada sauce. Spread out in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Make the dressing: Meanwhile, heat a small, dry frying pan. Add the pepitas and cook for 3 minutes until they are toasted (stir or shake the pan every minute or so). Add the pepitas and remaining dressing ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Toast the tortillas: During the last 5 minutes of cooking time for the fajitas, add the tortillas to the sheet and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with additional dressing and guacamole.
Notes
- Gluten Allergy? Replace the seitan with tofu, Portobello mushrooms or Pumfu.
- Spoiler Alert: Sheet Pan Seitan Fajitas will stay fresh in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for a week.
- For non-vegans: Prepare two sheet pans. Divide the vegetables evenly among the sheet pans and add chicken on one pan and seitan on the other.
