Ingredients
- 4 Rounds Pita Bread
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces Crumbled feta
- 4 ounces Plain cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 cups Shredded cheese (mixuture of mozzarella & provolone)
- Garnish toppings: shredded red cabbage, jalapenos, fresh mint, crumbled feta, cucumbers, olives
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Take the pita rounds and slice into triangles. Place your pita triangles in an even layer. It’s okay if some of the pita triangles overlap on the pan.
- Next, preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat and add olive oil, ground beef, kosher salt and black pepper. Cook the beef until it is no longer pink for about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook for a few minutes. Set the skillet aside.
- Start layering your nachos by adding shredded cheese on top of the pita, then ground beef, and finish it off with more cheese.
- Place the pan in the oven and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- While the nachos cook, make the whipped feta cheese. Place feta crumbles and cream cheese into a food processor. Pulse until combined and fluffy. If you need to add a bit of olive oil to help thin the mixture out that’s okay! Whip until desired consistency!
- Remove the nachos from the oven and garnish with desired toppings and dollops of whipped feta.
