Photo: Middle Eastern Nachos Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound ground lamb
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 whole wheat pitas
- 1 cup prepared spicy hummus
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small saute pan over moderate heat, cook the lamb until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a small bowl. Brush the pita bread using the fat in the pan. Cut each pita into 8 wedges and place on a sheet pan. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
In a shallow baking dish, layer half the pita wedges, half the lamb, half the hummus and half the feta. Make 1 more layer in the same order. Bake the nachos in middle of the oven until the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
BYOC: Use your favorite hummus; try lemon or garlic if you prefer no heat.

Oh, these were so good! The grocery store didn't carry the ground lamb, so I subbed it for ground chicken. Hubby doesn't like hummus so he had Wendy's which didn't bother me one bit, more for me and our daughter! We devoured this!

My all time favorite food, nachos. My all time favorite nachos, these! Simply incredible! I've used leftover tzatziki sauce as a sour cream-esque topping. I've used ground turkey, pork, beef chicken, lamb...all amazing. I've exchange cilantro for parsley too. Basically there is no way to screw up this masterpiece! Another little added flavor is sprinkling the pitas with cumin before baking, and I just drizzle the pitas with EVOO rather than using the fat. Obviously I've made these a few times!
