Everyone seems to love "build it yourself" meals, and fajitas are a delicous way to do this. Hot fillings and cold toppings are served with tortillas so that you can mix and match your own fajitas.
Yield: 8 fajitas
Time: 20 minutes
Tools

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bell peppers, seeded and sliced
- 1 pound seitan (cut into strips), 4 portobello mushroom caps (sliced), or a mix
- 2 T soy sauce

Directions
Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in 200 degree oven.
