Vegan chicken & beans fajitas
Background
This vegan chicken & beans fajitas is a regular dish in my kitchen. I like trying out different βno chickenβ pieces for this recipe. So far I think the texture of the Quorn vegan pieces is the most similar to real chicken. This time I served it with spicy red cabbage salsa in tortilla wraps. For a gluten-free version serve it in corn tacos or tortilla.
Ingredients
- 1 pack vegan βchickenβ pieces ( about 1 cupful)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- I handful cherry tomatoes

- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp tomato purΓ©e
- 1 tsp chipotle paste
- 1 lime
- 1 small tin of corn ( or 1 grilled corn-on-the-cob)
- 1 tin black beans
- 2 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- 4 soft wholemeal tortillas
- For the spiced red cabbage salsa:
- Β½ red cabbage
- 1 red or green chilli pepper
- 1 red onion
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 Tbsp agave syrup
