Meatless Monday: Chipotle seitan at La Margarita

The place is perennially veg-friendly La Margarita in Fountain Square. Most of their menu can be made with a variety of seitan options, vegan chorizo or seasonal veggies.

Yes, but: While that's all good, the chipotle is great.

What to order: Chipotle, with the seitan strips. The star of the show is the most succulent seitan strips cooked with tender cactus in a creamy, chipotle sauce. It is so, so good.

• It's served with rice, beans, guac and tortillas.

Cost: $16.

The intrigue: La Marg uses seitan from Three Carrots, which closed yesterday. The restaurant says it has enough for a few weeks while it figures out a replacement. They assured me, though, that they'll keep their meat-free friends happy.
