Cheese Steak-less Fajitas
Some of these ingredients may look familiar if you’ve seen earlier posts, and this brings up an important point. I make a very conscious effort to waste 0 food. This means that you will notice a lot of common ingredients used in different ways throughout my recipes. First, who has all the money to buy 5+ separate ingredients to be used in just one recipe? Second, purchasing items that will not be completely used prior to their expiration date is not mindful consumption. With so much deprivation throughout the world, I believe that it is imperative that we refrain from needless waste by only purchasing what we will consume in entirety. That being said, I will seek to always provide you with recipes that display various uses for common ingredients.

For your tortillas, you can either soften them up by putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds, or you can flash cook them in an additional sprayed pan (over medium heat) for 20-30 seconds on each side.
Add seitan, mushroom, bell pepper and onions evenly over each tortilla – then sprinkle your pepperjack style shreds over the top. This recipe will serve two, or it will make a very hearty meal for one hungry person!
