Mediterranean Loaded Beef Pita “Nachos”
with Creamy Hummus Sauce, Cucumber Tomato Salad & Feta | 4 servings
- Sesame
- Wheat
- Milk
Our love for nachos is unmatched: the contrasting textures, the layers, the DIY bites, the communal nature of it. Our chefs took this perfect app and did a full Mediterranean twist: Crisp, seasoned, baked pita chips layered with garlic-oregano seared ground beef, briny feta, smoky red pepper hummus sauce, and for fresh juicy contrast a lemony tomato-cucumber “salsa.” You’ll sprinkle it all with fresh parsley and a bright squeeze of lemon. The only problem with this appetizer: Why didn’t we think of it sooner? Nutrition values are representative of a 1/4 bundle serving.

Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Cut each pita into 8 triangles. In a large bowl, toss pita pieces with 2 TBSP olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet; toast on top rack until browned, 6-10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet (the chips will crisp up as they cool).
Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and finely dice cucumber. Quarter lemon. Roughly chop parsley.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef*, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, juice from 2 lemon wedges, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine hummus, smoky red pepper crema, and 1 tsp water; whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Once pita chips have cooled, carefully push chips closer together. Evenly top with cooked beef (TIP: if there’s excess grease in your pan, use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef), and drizzle with hummus sauce. Evenly sprinkle with half the feta. Return to top rack until feta begins to brown, 2-3 minutes. Top Mediterranean nachos with tomato and cucumber salsa. Sprinkle with remaining feta and parsley. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the unique Mediterranean twist on nachos, praising the blend of flavors as delicious and refreshing 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to assemble, though some found cutting and toasting the pita chips tricky.
- Suggestions: Consider adding kalamata olives, red onion, or tzatziki sauce for extra flavor. Toast pita whole, then cut for easier handling.
- Portions: Some wanted more pita chips to balance the generous toppings; others found it ample for a shared appetizer.
- Texture: A few found the toppings messy or prone to falling off; try serving as stuffed pitas or tostadas for easier eating.
Reviews from our home cooks
This was AMAZING. I normally don't like Mediterranean dishes because I don't like vinegar or olives, but this was an absolutely perfect blend of flavors for my palate. Loved that the pita held up really well under all the toppings.
This "creamy hummus" sauce slaps. These nachos were way better than I expected, and I had expected them to be decent! Would absolutely make these again. We actually had this as dinner for two but I'd make as a party snack, too. Absolutely recommend. Pretty easy instructions, too!
Superb!!! So much flavor and there was so much topping I had to use some pita chips to finish it up. Absolutely delicious. The red hummus and red pepper mixture was amazing. Fresh!
Fresh and delicious! The pitas crisp right up, and the combination of the vegetables and hummus is very savory, with umami from the fried beef and oregano.
Loved the crispy pita chips and the hummus drizzle. A very refreshing twist on traditional nachos.
One of my favorite recipes you have. Such a great healthier take on nacho and so delicious
I think the hummus sauce should not go on until after they are cooked. It dried out too much in the oven. Feta cheese doesn't really melt either, so it was okay heating it up but... I decided to try this in the air fryer. I did half a batch at a time and it worked quite well. I browned the chips first, and then I put the whole thing on a piece of foil in the airfryer and browned it up.
Could it be that the significant amount of negative comments recently on FB got the attention of HF?? Finally! A perk for established customers! We aren't into desserts, etc that are typically Marketplace fare but the Mediterranean nachos were a score. A very nice change of flavors and textures. We enjoyed the feta / Mediterranean zippy taste. Let's do this again soon. Grade A
Delicious, but should have more pita for a family of 4 only two pitas made the slices too small.
The flavors were amazing, but the toppings greatly outnumbered the pita chips. Would be better if served somehow differently. But again, worth it! Be prepared with extra pita or rice or such
