Vegan Mexican fajitas
Fajitas are one of the trendiest dishes in Mexican cuisine, since they usually include a combination of spices that makes them super tasty and truly addictive.
By simply replacing animal meat with soy meat, we can enjoy all their flavor in a healthier, more ethical and more sustainable way.
This recipe is free of animal-derived ingredients and therefore cholesterol-free, and it keeps all the flavor thanks to the vegetables and spices it is made with, which add intensity and delicious spicy notes.
Its filling makes these fajitas a dish rich in protein, carbohydrates, fiber, beta-carotene, lycopene, tryptophan, flavonoids, vitamins A, C, D, E, G and the B group (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), sulfur, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, sodium, iodine and, to a lesser extent, copper and zinc.
