Ingredients

  • 2 cups seitan (homemade chicken style)
  • 1 Serrano pepper
  • 2 tablespoon pickled jalapenos
  • ¼ cup roasted corn
  • ½ cup mango chunks
  • ¼ cup shredded purple cabbage (only for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Jerk Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon five spice powder
  • 2 teaspoon sugar-free coconut agave syrup (Jordan's Skinny)
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon herb grilled seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon hot curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon cider vinegar (optional)
  • ½ tablespoon Diablo sauce (I used Torchy's)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoon water (to make the marinade)

Instructions

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients and set aside.
  • Add seitans in to the bowl and toss well so that the marinade coats each piece evenly. Let it stand for a few minutes.
  • Heat the canola oil in a skillet or frying pan, and add the marinated seitan pieces and sliced serrano pepper.
  • Cover and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the pickled jalapeno slices and roasted corn.
  • Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. Turn off the heat.
  • Heat some tortillas and add a generous amount of Jamaican brushfire seitan on each.
  • Top with some mangoes, cilantro and shredded purple cabbage.

Notes

  • If not using cider vinegar, you can use some lime juice.
  • You can grill the seitan instead of cooking in a pan.
  • Because seitan is precooked, it takes only few minutes to cook them.
  • You can add some mango salsa instead of mango chunks too. Pineapple salsa even works well with this recipe.
