Prep: 15 minutes | Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

Chik'n Filling

  • 1 package (about 12 oz) Alpha Foods Homestyle Chik'n Strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime


Other

  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup vegan cheese (your choice, but cheddar-style works well)
  • 1 cup pico de gallo (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup vegan sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2-3 jalapenos, thinly sliced (adjust to your spice preference)


DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook the Chik'n: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the Alpha Foods Homestyle Chik'n Strips and season them with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chik'n strips turn golden brown, and then squeeze the juice of 1 lime over them.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat the small corn tortillas either in the microwave or on a skillet until they are warm and pliable.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of the cooked chik'n strips on each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of vegan cheese, a spoonful of pico de gallo, and some thinly sliced jalapenos.
  4. Add Toppings: Drizzle vegan sour cream over the top and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro for extra flavor.


This chicken-free meal doesn’t cluck around. Enjoy!
