This is a mashup of recipes I made into a Veggie Fajita. These recipes can also be used alone to complete any meal. This delicious fajita recipe uses soycurls instead of chicken. Soycurls are tasty, gluten free meat alternatives (the healthiest as well), made using whole Non-GMO soybeans; unlike many of the ‘fake meats’ found in stores which contain soy protein isolates and wheat gluten. Soy curls texture is similar to chicken, therefore making it also the best substitute. I also include a fajita seasoning mix recipe, which has none of the dangerous additives found in commercial brands. Lastly, there is a whole wheat tortilla recipe that tastes better than supermarket brand and is way less expensive to prepare.
