Greek Nachos Recipe Description:
Greek Nachos are a Mediterranean twist on the classic Tex-Mex dish. Instead of tortilla chips, this version uses crispy pita chips as the base, layered with juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy hummus or tzatziki, olives, crumbled feta, red onions, and fresh herbs. Perfect as a refreshing appetizer or a light vegetarian meal, these nachos are loaded with flavor, color, and nutrition.
