            Strips                                   To taste
       1    Red bell pepper, sliced             4    Fatfree tortillas
     1/2 md Onion, sliced                       4 T  Vegetable stock

   Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to
   warm while preparing fajitas. Heat a large heavy skillet. Add vegetable
   stock and saute seitan several minutes. Add pepper and onion strips and
   continue to saute until liquid has almost cooked away, about 5 minutes
   total. Cover pan and cook until pan is almost dry, about 2-3 minutes.
   
   Spoon 1/4 of seitan strips, peppers and onions down middle of each warmed
   tortilla. Drizzle with salsa and sprinkle cilantro over all. Roll up
   tortillas enclosing filling. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
