Greek Nachos
Spiced wholemeal pita bread “nachos”…all the crunch…none of the crap.
I do love to gather a crowd and feed them all good & proper. This dish is a winner with my entire family from the ground (little ones) up (oldies). It’s super fast, simple and as I often already have most of these ingredients in the pantry/fridge, it can be fantastic for those unexpected guests.
My version of nachos are much lower in kilojoules and fat but high in fibre and nutrients. Plus…they are friggin’ tasty.

Instructions
Heat the oven to 180°C. Using a pizza cutter, slice the lebanese bread into triangle pieces roughly the same shape as nacho chips. Spread onto a large baking tray and spray lightly with olive oil. Shake over the half the smoked paprika, flip and then repeat for the other side. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until nice and crispy.
Heat some olive oil in a medium saucepan and sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté´for a further minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and toss through for a minute and then add the lamb mince. Stir as the mince is cooking through to break up any lumps then add the spices and then beans. Stir to combine and add the mint last.
Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the chopped cucumber, tomatoes and diced feta for the greek salad. In separate bowl combine the greek yoghurt, lemon and mint.
To serve divide the nachos between for bowls (Or pop them all onto a large sharing platter) top with the mince and the greek salad and then spoon over a dollop of the minted yoghurt.
