Sizzling seitan strips, peppers, onions, and rice with lime.
Ingredients
Seitan8 oz
Bell peppers3
Yellow onion1
Lime1
White rice1 cup
Taco seasoning1 packet
Vegetable oil1 tbsp
Steps
- Start the rice first: rinse 1 cup rice, combine with 2 cups water and 1/2 tsp salt, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
- Slice the seitan into 1/2-inch strips. Slice the peppers and onion into thin strips so they cook quickly.
- Toss the seitan with half the taco seasoning and 1 tsp oil. Toss the peppers and onion with the remaining seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the seitan for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until browned at the edges; move it to a plate.
- Add the peppers and onion to the same skillet and cook 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened with a little char.
- Return the seitan with 2 tbsp water and scrape up the browned bits for 1 minute so everything gets coated.
- Serve over rice with lime wedges. Let the skillet sit empty for a minute before washing; the browned seasoning releases more easily.
