“Ladies and gentleman, in one corner, we have Greek cuisine, fit and feisty, famous for their funky feta and tremendous tzatziki… In the other corner, trained with strict discipline the last two centuries on tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, Mexican cuisine, the crowd favorite. The bell rings and we're off… That's a haymaker from Greece, we're seeing a lot of olives and tomatoes on that one. Wait, wait… that's a left jab from Mexico, and tortillas are flying everywhere. It looks like they're both going down, folks, on the mat… but folks, we all are winners from this tie, as these Greek zucchini tostadas are better than any bout.” Tip: Best way to mince cucumber? Quarter lengthwise, cut those quarters into cubes, then chop.

Meat lovers! If using protein, cook prior to cooking zucchini. If using whole chicken breasts, pat chicken dry and cut into 1" dice. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt. If using diced chicken, pat dry and season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add diced chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Follow same instructions as chicken and add steak strips to hot pan. Stir occasionally until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes.
