"A little nicer than a tostado! These are nice served with a little salsa and perhaps a lime wedge to squeeze over the top. I also like to have some margaritas with these!"

Beautiful recipe. Just made these -- wonderful - easy to do and quite tasty. Used ground cumin instead of seed and used garlic salt in place of regular salt. Omitted onion too since I didn't have a red onion on hand, and I plan to use green onion next time. These look so pretty and taste even better than they look - thanks so much, Sue!
