Greek nachos

Description

A fun spin on a traditional “Mexican” dish. We used pita instead of corn tortillas, tzatziki instead of cheese sauce, and a whole lot of Greek flavors to bring it all together!

Cooking Instructions
  1. Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until fully cooked through. (About 8 minutes).
  3. On a large baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil and spread out each pita triangle(s). Drizzle with remaining olive oil, and season with salt. Bake uncovered until golden brown – about 10-12 minutes.
  4. In the mean time, begin making the tzatziki sauce. Whip together each of the ingredients listed until smooth.
  5. Once the pitas are crisp, top with feta cheese, red pepper, cucumber, onion, tomato, olives, chives, dill, parsley, and your homemade tzatziki sauce.

How to serve this dish

Notes

We have a seasoning called “Za’atar” that works really well for Greek dishes! You can find it at your local grocery store 🙂

I love making the  tzatziki sauce a few hours ahead of time so it has more time to marinate all the flavors together.

Chickpeas or sun dried tomatoes would be a good substitute/ addition for a topping as well! You can also substitute the chicken for gyro meat.
