Soy Curls Fajitas
Instructions
1
Place the soy curls in a large bowl and add in the remaining soy curl ingredients: broth, orange juice and zest, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, oregano, salt, cumin, and liquid smoke. Stir to combine everything and press the curls down into the liquid. If your curls aren’t *mostly* covered (see video for reference), you can add an additional cup of hot broth/ water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes or even up to an hour.*
2
While the soy curls marinate, saute your veggies. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the peppers, onions, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until the veggies are soft. Set aside.
3
Using your hands, remove the soy curls from the marinade and gently squeeze out the excess moisture. Place in a clean bowl. You *do not* need to remove all of the moisture and keeping a little will add extra flavor. You just don’t want them to be soupy and totally dripping wet when they go in the skillet.
4
In the same skillet over medium heat, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil and add in the soy curls. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that they are lightly browned on all sides.
5
Add the peppers and onions back to the skillet and stir to combine everything. Cook for an additional 2 minutes and then remove from the heat.
6
Serve as desired and ENJOY!

*I believe that this could even marinate overnight but I have not tried that.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pre-marinate Soy Curls for Maximum Flavor 🌶️Soak your soy curls in the hot broth with liquid smoke, cumin, and chili powder for 10-15 minutes before cooking to allow them to absorb the smoky, spiced flavors deeply rather than just coating the surface.
- High Heat Searing Creates Textural Contrast 🔥Use the highest heat setting when cooking your marinated soy curls to develop a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender, mimicking the texture of traditional grilled fajita proteins.
- Caramelize Vegetables Separately for Even Cooking ⏱️Cook onions and bell peppers in a separate pan before combining with soy curls to ensure they develop proper color and sweetness without overcooking the soy curls.
- Finish with Fresh Citrus and Cilantro 🍋Add fresh lime juice and orange zest along with cilantro in the final 30 seconds of cooking to brighten the rich, smoky flavors and add a vibrant freshness that elevates the dish.
- Create a Charred Pan Base for Depth 🍳Don't clean the pan between cooking vegetables and soy curls—let the caramelized bits combine to create a flavorful fond that adds complexity and depth to your final fajita mix.
