Ingredients

For the Seitan Taco Filling

1 8 oz package plain ground seitan
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 cup water

For the Tacos

9 corn tortillas
Vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, salsa, cilantro, etc.

Instructions

Add seitan and oil to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned.
Stir in the taco seasoning. Add the water and bring to a simmer. Simmer until most of the water has cooked off and thick sauce is formed.
Assemble tacos with desired toppings.

Notes

You'll want to use ground seitan for this recipe if possible. Seitan is also sold as strips which you could finely chop.
You can also use a plant-based ground meat produce like Beyond Meat or Impossible Meat rather than seitan. The cooking & seasoning method is the same, except you can skip the oil from the recipe.
We use a 1 oz standard packet of taco seasoning for these tacos. You can also use 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning.
Topping suggestions include: salsa, vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, avocado, cilantro, pickled red onion, hot sauce.
