Mediterranean Loaded Beef Pita “Nachos”
with Creamy Hummus Sauce, Cucumber Tomato Salad & Feta | 4 servings
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?

Instructions
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°.
