Well…the (*) indicates that seitan may not be the right choice for these tostadas–the original recipe called for chicken so I figured chicken-style seitan would be the ideal substitute. I guess I can’t always be a vegan-recipe-master. Next time, I will try refries with Boca brand “beef” crumbles. But I wanted to share the recipe for the Avocado Dressing that is fantastic! It would go great with tacos, burritos, or as a salsa.

INGREDIENTS:
Avocado Dressing:
6 Tbs vegetable oil
4 Tbs cider vinegar
4 tsp minced pickled jalapeno peppers
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/3 C cilantro, chopped (I added, but optional)
The Rest:
I recommend trying 1 can refried beans with 1 bag Boca Ground Crumbles or possibly using a taco seasoning mix with the seitan.
1 pkg, 10-count tostada shells
Vegan cheddar, shredded
Tofutti sour cream
Lettuce, chopped

DIRECTIONS:
For the dressing: Combine all ingredients, cover and refrigerate until ready to use (top “meat” with it).
