Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Seitan Strips 1 package
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 jalapeños Jalapeño deseeded and minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ancho Chili Powder
  • 1/2 cup Onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 4 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 3 tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 3 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1 large Tomato diced
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 Flour Tortilla corn tortillas, or corn taco shells

Instructions
 

  • Drain the seitan strips and toss them with the garlic, jalapenos, cumin, chili powder, and onions in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, parsley, cilantro and honey in a blender and mix until combined. Whisk in the sour cream. Set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the seitan mixture and cook until the seitan has browned and the onions are soft.
  • Assemble the tacos with the seitan mixture, tomatoes, spinach and cheese.
  • Spoon the citrus dressing over the tacos. Alternatively, because it is very liquid, you can also coat the cooked seitan mixture with the desired amount of dressing before taco assembly.

Notes

  • I used a thyme flavored honey which added to the herby flavor of the dressing.
  • Make sure the jalapeno is actually spicy. This dish is better with a little kick!
