Greek Gyro Nachos

When it comes to nachos, I’ve really only ever had the traditional kind. You know, the kind with the shredded beef or pork, jack cheese, jalapeños and all that jazz. But sometimes it’s fun to shake things up a bit. Enter these Greek Gyro Nachos.

Gyros are a favorite in our home and when I set out to make these nachos I got to thinking what is on our favorite gyro. We like them loaded with tzatziki, red onion, olives, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, so of course those were all going on these Greek Gyro Nachos.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground lamb

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 medium yellow onion

2 teaspoons dried oregano (1 tablespoon fresh)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

12 ounces pita chips

6 ounces crumbled feta cheese

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup diced cucumbers

1/2 cup black olives

1/2 cup red onion

1 1/2 cups Tzatziki Sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Cook lamb, garlic, yellow onion, oregano and salt and pepper in a pan over medium heat. Cook until lamb is cooked through and onions are softened 5 -7 minutes.

2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pita chips on a baking sheet. Top with ground lamb mixture and all but 1/4 cup of feta cheese. Place in the oven and cook 7 - 10 minutes or until the feta starts to brown.

3

Remove from oven. Top with tzatziki, diced tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, olives, red onion and remaining feta cheese. Serve.
