I’m sure most people by now have seen the seitan chickn’ (currently known as TikTok chicken) making its way around the internet.

In basic terms, it’s just flour and water….

I’ve known of seitan for a while and I’m even in the seitan appreciation society Facebook group but I only got the courage to try it after I saw how easy that viral video made it look.

The first attempt was an absolute fail, it tasted like a dense chewy floured mess, (turns out I hadn’t washed it enough) but I was determined to make it work.

So I did my research, watched many videos, and blog posts, and this is what I got.

I did the WTF method, known as “Wash The Flour”. If you’d like to try it yourself, have a look here!

In this post, I wanted to share a recipe using my homemade seitan – I made BBQ chickn’ fajitas with homemade tortilla wraps, but this recipe is just for the filling.

What you’ll need:

Filling
x2 Peppers
x1 Red onion
x1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
x1 Tin of sweetcorn
Hickory seasoning
BBQ powder
Pre-made seitan chickn’

WTF BBQ Chickn’ Fajitas

Recipe by Nadia KonnoCourse: Food, Mains

Ingredients

2 Peppers
1 Red Onion

1 Tin of chopped tomatoes
1 Tin of sweetcorn
1 tbsp of ketchup

1 tsp Brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp Hickory seasoning powder
1 1/2 tsp BBQ seasoning powder

Pre-made seitan chickn’ shreds

Directions

Slice your peppers (I chose red and green) and thinly cut your onions.

In a pan add some oil and fry the onions until transparent.
Add in your peppers and cook them for a few minutes. (We still want a slight crunch at the end).
Add in your tinned tomatoes, sweetcorn, and the chickn’

Now add in your seasoning powders, sugar and ketchup and give a good mix so it all combines.
Cook till everything has heated through and the liquid has reduced.
Place on a tortilla wrap, and enjoy with a spread of mayonnaise and or cheese!
