Vegetarian Tostadas

We were about to go on a Memorial weekend trip so you already know what was not happening. A trip to the grocery store. No one is even about wasting food and coming back to a spoiled mess. The hubby was like, how about some tostada salad. Don't mind if I do!!!

P.S. These pics cannot possibly convey how satisfying this nonsense was.

Never tried this seitan before but it did the job well!
