When my husband and I were at the health store and a bag of soy curls caught his eye, I immediately wanted to make fajitas or quesadillas … I guess we know which one I chose, and I enjoyed every second. They’re awesome to cook with and have a really pleasant texture. To top it all off, the smell .. it’s overwhelmingly exciting.
Ingredients:
- 1 – 8 oz. package of soy curls
- 1-2 TBSP liquid smoke (optional)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 onion, sliced in strips
- 1 package of Fajita Seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 TBSP oil
- 10- 12 flour tortillas
- a few shreds of a Daiya cheddar block (optional)
- dollop or two of dairy free sour cream (optional)
- salsa from my “Haystacks” recipe (optional)
Place the soy curls in a large bowl, and slowly pour very hot (near boiling) water and liquid smoke (if using) over them. Fill the bowl about 1 to 2 inches above the soy curls. Let them sit for 10 minutes. If they have soaked up all of the water, pour in around 1/4 cup more, and wait 5 minutes or so. Repeat that step until they are completely hydrated and rejecting water. Drain the standing water off right before you cook.
