- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 12 small tortillas
- 1 cup salsa

Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing the onion and bell pepper into thin strips.
- Place the vegan steak strips into the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly distributed across the bottom of the cooking vessel.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the vegan steak strips, coating them thoroughly for maximum flavor absorption.
- Layer the sliced onions and bell peppers on top of the seasoned vegan steak strips.
- Pour the vegetable broth carefully over the ingredients, making sure it covers the bottom of the slow cooker and provides moisture for cooking.
- Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat, allowing the ingredients to cook slowly and develop rich, deep flavors for approximately 6 hours.
- After cooking time is complete, gently stir the vegan steak and vegetables to ensure even coating and tenderness.
- Warm the tortillas either in a skillet or microwave just before serving.

Tips
- Choose high-quality vegan steak strips for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra depth, toast your taco seasoning in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the slow cooker.
- Don't rush the cooking process—slow cooking allows the flavors to develop and the vegan strips to become incredibly tender.
- If you prefer a spicier taco, add a few dashes of hot sauce or use a spicy taco seasoning blend.
- Prep your ingredients the night before to make morning assembly quick and effortless.
- For added crunch, consider topping with pickled red onions or crispy cabbage slaw.
- Warm your tortillas just before serving to enhance their flavor and prevent cracking.
