Greek Nachos

What Are Greek Nachos?

Greek nachos are an easy way to take all your favorite Greek flavors and pile them onto a bed of nachos! What you won’t find in Greek Nachos is a lot of gooey cheese pulls, guacamole, canned olives or sour cream. What you will find on Greek Nachos is seasoned ground lamb, peppers, kalamata olives, and feta cheese.

How To Make Greek Nachos

Unlike nachos recipe, no need for tortilla chips! You have two options for these nachos, you can either make your own pita chips or buy pita chips (like Stacey’s). To make your own pita chips, cut pita rounds into 4ths, drizzle each piece with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake for about 10 minutes, turning at least once. I have eaten these nachos with kinds of pita chips and I prefer the store bought because of the crisp the provide.

These nachos call for ground lamb. I know not everyone is a fan of lamb, so if that is you, then ground beef will work just fine! I like to season my ground lamb with a Greek seasoning blend (McCormick makes a good one, but my favorite comes from Spiceologist), salt, and lots of garlic!

After you pile the lamb over the pita chips, feel free to add as much or as little of the remaining toppings which are, chopped kalamata olives, pepperoncini peppers, chopped tomatoes, diced cucumbers, and feta cheese. Fresh diced zucchini, diced red onion, chopped marinated artichokes, or roasted red peppers would make excellent toppings as well! Serve a little tzatziki sauce on the side!

    Just a few minutes ago, I wrote on a sports blog that my favorite game day snack was oven-tasted nachos — and that was before I read this recipe. This sounds fantastic and your description of them as being gyros flavored says it all! Count me in! Thanks for sharing.

    I LOVE Greek food and I am obsessing over these nachos! How awesome is that to combine nachos with Greek toppings?! The more sauce and olives I can get, the better 🙂 and I agree–my Pinterest boards are my hoarding obsession with recipes haha. If the internet went down, I’d probably sit in a dark corner and rock back and forth.

    Oh, I’m going to try this, pinning it now. I’m Australian we have a huge Greek community, I had so many Greek friends growing up. I loved nothing better than scoring an invite for dinner. Even now, if I’m going out Greek food is my first choice

    Don’t you love all the inspiration you can gain from Pinterest??? I too am not crafty, but have aspirations to be…maybe someday.

    I love the idea of pita chips as the tortilla chips for the greek nachos! Can’t wait to give them a try, but without the lamb since I’m a vegetarian!
