Soy Stack

During my seven years of vegetarianism, I ate my fair share of soy meat and other faux-meat products.

Since returning to carnivorism several years ago, I hadn’t dabbled in my old ways even once…until last night.

My vegetarian friend came over for dinner, so I decided to revisit Boca Ground Crumbles to create the ultimate Vegetarian Tostada. I concocted this simple recipe in my head, and the end result was just as good as I had imagined. I even managed to sneak the fake meat on to my husband’s plate; with the right preparations, it’s almost as good as the real deal.

Place a scoop of rice on top of beans
Next, place the soy meat on top of the rice
Add the corn salad
A pinch of cheese
Finally, top with shredded lettuce, avocado and salsa
ENJOY!
