Loaded Greek Pita Nachos

by 15 Comments

I fully admit that it’s supposed to be all about the “healthy” foods at the start of the New Year. Lover of nachos and a person who regularly gives into cravings, I say let’s eat these Loaded Greek Pita Nachos with lamb, a crazy amount of veggies, a bit of feta and drizzled with a lemony hummus sauce.

I’m pretty sure this means that I’ve caught “nacho fever” as it shall now be diagnosed. I’m keen to figure out a way to make loaded Thai nachos and all other sorts of moderately healthy nachos. Because sometimes in life, we need ask “why not?” amongst finding balance without going completely overboard.

  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 6-10 cherry tomatoes, cut into halves or quarters
  • 1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cucumber, cut into small bite size pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minute until brown and cooked through, but not yet crispy. Drain on a paper towel lined plate if at all oily.

  2. Samantha, those nachos are insanely good! I feel I've caught "nacho fever", too. Especially when they're made greek style like yours! :-)

  4. How lovely! I know you 'filed' this dish as a lunch or appetizer, but I love the indulgent days my Husband and I have nachos for dinner. This may be added to the rotation for nacho night!!

    • Hahaha! We very occasionally do wings and nachos night. It's a guilty pleasure for me. (Although with beer, but if I"m eating nachos for dinner then why not?) :)

  5. If Nacho Fever is a thing, I hope they never find a cure! Love all the different flavours and textures you've got going on in there... but then again, I'll eat pretty much anything if you top if with hummus. :) PS: Loaded thai nachos? Yes, yes and YES. My version consists of stir-fried veggies, diced cooked chicken, and a spicy satay sauce with a big handful of chopped cilantro and green onion sprinkled on top.... but I'm super-keen to see what your version would look like!

  6. That seems pretty healthy to me, especially with the whole wheat pitas. My motto is variety - don't each too much of any one thing and you'll probably be okay!

    • Agreed Teresa! This felt indulgent as it is more "snack"-like than the dishes I make for lunch or dinner. My hubby is very much a protein and two sides kind of eater so this was a sell!
