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!

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called Greek tostadas. The flavors are more Mexican than Greek.

These tostadas are a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I also like to add some crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tostadas didn't turn out as good as I expected. The flavors were a bit bland, and the pita bread was soggy.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The feta cheese and olives add a nice salty touch, while the tomatoes and cucumbers provide a refreshing contrast. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular rotation of recipes.
