Well, sorta. Took a recipe and embellished it. The lamb meat can be omitted if you wish. Inspired by a recipe in Betty Crocker's Meatless Main Dishes. If you want to spice it up further, garnish with fresh minced hot peppers! A good way to use up leftover refried beans!

These tostadas were easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought tzatziki sauce and it worked out great. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of Greek food, but these tostadas were surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the tostada shells were nice and crispy.
