Greek Style Nachos with Feta, Olives and Tzatziki

Switch up your nacho game by adding Greek flavors, like olives, tzatziki sauce, cucumbers and more to the mix.

These flavorful nachos are a little different from your garden-variety ones. First, the chips are made using pita bread that you toast up in the oven. If you snack-as-you-prep like me, you might want to pick up a few extra pitas, because these crunchy, seasoned chips are so hard to resist straight from the oven!

When you’re interested in some serious crunch, these pita chips are a great snacking option on their own, too. You can season them with your favorite herbs or spices and use them to scoop up anything from hummus and salsa, or just eat them with cheese and olives on the side.

The toppings for these Greek Nachos are full of flavor that won’t let you down. From spicy peppers to cooling cucumbers to salty Feta cheese—and you won’t want to forget the fabulous Tzatziki Sauce to spread over the top—these nachos are totally addicting.

You can add cooked chicken to the mix to bring a bit more substance to your snack, too.

Step by Step Guide to Making Greek Inspired Nachos

Prepare Tzatziki Sauce:

1. Combine all tzatziki ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
3. Refrigerate until ready to use, stirring before serving.

Bake Pita Chips:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Arrange pita triangles on baking sheets in a single layer.
3. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray; season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Remove from oven.

Assemble the Nachos:

1. On a large platter, distribute baked pita chips.
2. Top chips with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, pepperoncini, red onion, and crumbled Feta.
3. Drizzle with prepared tzatziki sauce, reserve some for dipping.
4. Garnish with additional Feta and chopped parsley.

Recipe Notes:

• For crispier chips, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Tzatziki can be made a day ahead; flavors meld with time.
• If pita bread is stale, increase baking time slightly for extra crispness.
