1.) Combine anchos, jalapenos, onion, tomato, olives, capers, parsley, garlic, and octopus in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer octopus for 1 hour. Remove tentacles and allow to cool.

2.) Pre-heat fryer to 350°F. Pre-heat grill to medium heat. To make one tostada, fry a tortilla until crisp and allow to dry. Rub the octopus tentacles with the Ancho Rub and sear on a hot grill until slightly charred. Slice each tentacle into ½” segments. Top the tostada with 1 oz. of Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, and 2 ½ oz. of octopus, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
