Ingredients

2 cups soy curls
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 green bell pepper sliced
1 yellow onion thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder optional, if you really love spice
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
⅓ cup buffalo sauce
8 - 10 flour tortillas taco size
1 large lime sliced into wedges

Optional Toppings

Avocado
Cilantro
Shredded purple cabbage
Vegan sour cream

Instructions

Combine soy curls and vegetable broth in a large bowl and set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat.
Add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic, and saute for 5 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
Drain Soy Curls (save the broth for future use or discard), turn heat to medium-high, and add the soy curls, cayenne (if using), cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry, allowing the fajita ingredients to sit undisturbed so the peppers and soy curls start to char. Mix just regularly enough to prevent sticking and burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Add buffalo sauce and mix thoroughly.
Place each tortilla on a burner with the flame turned on low, and allow each tortilla to warm up, and also develop a light char before flipping, repeating, and then moving to the next tortilla.
Fill taco tortillas with the buffalo soy curl fajita mixture and serve with a wedge of lime and any toppings you desire!
