These veggie-filled burritos become a hearty entrée, and they pair nicely with sliced melons and strawberries.

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Heat large skillet over medium heat, and add oil. When hot, place seitan slices in oil, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn, mushrooms, green pepper, tomatillos, if using, salsa, taco seasoning, cumin, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in coriander leaves, and remove from heat.
  3. Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese and one-quarter amount of jalapeño, if using, on tortilla, and broil until cheese melts and bubbles. Remove from broiler, spoon on seitan mixture, sprinkle with one-quarter avocado and wrap. Repeat with remaining ingredients until used up. Serve while hot.
