Directions

  1. Marinate the seitan: In a large bowl, mix the seitan with the chili, garlic, lime juice, beer, cilantro, and red onion to coat. Cover, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  2. Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Remove the seating from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Cook the seitan, flipping and taking care not to overcrowd the pan, until browned, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has almost disappeared, about 20 minutes.
  3. Top a few tortillas with the seitan mixture, along with some pickled onions, sour cream, chilies, salsa, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
