Delicious! I substituted extra firm tofu for the seitan and a blush wine for the sherry. My fiance doesn't do tofu but he loved these tacos. I'm adding this recipe to my favorites. It's very easy to make. Weight Watchers: 1 taco= 7 points.
Black Bean Tacos
Seitan has a neutral flavor and a chewy, meatlike texture. Look for it in the refrigerated sections of health food stores or Asian markets. It may also be labeled wheat gluten.
