Ingredients

Fajita Seasoning

  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

To garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together spices for the fajita seasoning. Set aside.
  2. Place soy curls in a large bowl. Pour over either hot water or hot vegetable stock (preferred) until soy curls are covered. Add more liquid if needed. Let soak for 5 minutes or until soy curls are soft. Once soft use a sieve or colander to drain. Reserve the liquid for soups or sauces (optional).
  3. Meanwhile, thinly slice onions, peppers and cactus (if fresh). If using jarred cactus remove one cup reserving the liquid.  
  4. Heat a large pan over medium low heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to pan. Add soy curls and cook for 5 mins stirring occasionally. Once soy curls are browned sprinkle over fajita seasoning. Stir to combine. Add onions,  peppers and fresh cactus (if using). Cook for 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally or until vegetables have soften. If using jarred cactus add to pan and cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.

 Assemble Your Fajita.

  • If you enjoy your tortillas warm a trick I use is, I heat mine up quickly by putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds with a wet paper towel.
  • Add 1/2- 1 cup of filling to your tortillas (depending on the size of your tortillas) and optional fillings if you prefer.
  • Watch my video for a how to fold fajita demonstration.
