Seitan Fajitas with Poblano Chiles
(Serves 4)

Seitan combines with richly flavored poblano chiles to make great-tasting fajitas that can be mild to spicy, depending on the heat of the poblanos themselves, and if you add the optional red pepper flakes.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 red onion, cut into thin strips

• 8 ounces seitan, cut into strips

• 2 poblano chiles, cut into thin strips

• Juice of 1 lime

• 1/2 cup tomato salsa, bottled or homemade

• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 4 soft flour tortillas

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, seitan, and chiles and cook until the onion and chiles are softened and the seitan is browned, about 10 minutes. Add the lime juice, salsa, red pepper flakes, if using, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes longer to blend flavors. Divide the seitan mixture among the tortillas. Roll up and serve.
