Meal 2: Greek Tostada Bites
- Remove seeds from half of an English cucumber and dice. In small bowl, combine with 2 cloves finely minced garlic, 1 cup Greek yogurt, reserved lemon zest and 1 tsp lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Using 4 large flour tortillas and a 2-1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut 6 to 7 circles from each. Grill mini tortilla cut-outs on medium-high heat, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Spread some yogurt mixture on warm tortillas. Top with 3 to 4 slices of beef from warmed Beef Brochettes cubes; garnish with some sliced green onion and some diced sweet red pepper if desired. Makes about 24 bites.
