Yield: 5 servings 

Prep time: approximately 15 

Cook time: approximately 10 minutes  

Total time: 25 minutes 

Ingredients: 

1 cup of dried soy meat 

1 cucumber 

1 red onion 

1 jalapeno  

1 tomato 

6 limes 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 pack of tostadas 

Directions: 

Boil the soy meat for about 5 minutes and drain, removing it from heat after it reaches the desired texture. Allow the soy meat to cool while you prep your vegetables. 

After washing your produce, dice the cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, and tomato into bite sized bits. 

Add all of the vegetables into a bowl along with the soy meat and teaspoon of salt. Squeeze all 6 limes over the bow, ensuring as much of the lime juice as possible makes it into the dish. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes. 

Once your ceviche is ready, place the mixture on top of a tostada and enjoy!
