Fresh-tasting and easy to make, these Greek Nachos are a great excuse to invent Nacho Thursday! Sauteed ground lamb is layered with fresh tomato, cucumber, olives and feta over pita chips. We like to use pita chips because they're sturdy enough to hold all the toppings. Drizzle with tzatziki to finish or add dollops of hummus- either way, it's foolproof!

Thomas Farms Ground Lamb

1 pound Thomas Farms Grass Fed Ground Lamb
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 cups pita chips (store-bought or homemade) (about 48 chips)
1 large plum tomato, diced (about 1 cup)
½ medium cucumber, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
½ cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions

Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cumin and cook until the lamb is browned and done, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
Serve the lamb mixture over the pita chips, topped with the tomato, cucumber, olives and cheese. Drizzle with the tzatziki.

To make your own pita chips, heat the oven to 375°F. Cut 3 pita breads into 8 wedges each, then split into 2 layers to make 16 pieces each. Place onto baking sheets and brush one side with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt, if desired. Bake for 8 minutes or until browned and crisp.

For Family Nacho night, have toppings on the side so that everyone can choose their favorites!

For Greek Tacos, fold the lamb mixture and toppings into warm pocketless pita breads.
