How to Prepare Seitan Tacos al Pastor [Vegan]

Blend the pineapple and onion together and then add the rest of the ingredients. You'll have a special spicy slurry ready for marinating.
Soak seitan strips or small steaks for up to two days but for at least one. Then put them on skewers with additional pineapple and onion chunks (important for moisture) and grill them over high heat for about 10 minutes or so, rotating as you see fit.
When they're done, mince the seitan, pineapple, and onion into small pieces. Serve on grilled corn tortillas with finely minced onion and cilantro.
