Vegan Fajitas

Yes, I *am* very much still cooking! The problem is that I am being extremely anal about trying to perfect my recipes before posting them... and never get them "perfect" enough to post! This is my current best creation, though, and a favorite food of my meat-loving husband! Introducing... Vegan Fajitas!

VEGAN FAJITAS

1 batch gluten "meat" (recipe below)
2-3 bell peppers, any color - seeded and sliced
2 medium onions - sliced into half rings
2 tsp fajita seasoning (recipe below)
2 Tbsp oil
4-6 flour tortillas

1. heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. add sliced gluten and fry for 5 minutes, until very lightly browned in places, stirring to prevent sticking.
3. sprinkle 1 tsp seasoning over the frying gluten, then fry for an additional 5 min
4. add in sliced peppers and onions, fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. sprinkle 1 tsp seasoning over the vegetables and gluten mix, continue frying until reaches your desired firmness.
6. serve in warmed flour tortillas.


GLUTEN "MEAT"

1c. vital wheat gluten
1c. water

1. mix water and gluten powder to form a wet sponge.
2. create a pocket out of foil, leaving 1" on each side to expand, seal all openings.
3. boil for 25 minutes, or pressure cook at 11# for 20 min.
4. drain well, cool, unwrap, and slice into strips.

add all into an empty spice bottle and seal tightly, shake well.
