Avocado Crema Over Shrimp Tostadas ~ Healthy Summer Lunch
Voskos Greek Yogurt is a wonderful substitute for mayo or sour cream, making this a lighter style meal. But that doesn’t mean you lose flavor! These are so tasty you’ll want them over and over again. So when I tell you this tastes good you can believe it. Greek yogurt is all natural and is low in calories and cholesterol, but high in protein!

Turn tortillas over and continue to cook 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
