Cooking Tips

• You can substitute ground lamb with ground beef or turkey if desired.
• Feel free to customize the toppings by adding other ingredients such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or tzatziki sauce.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking.

Storage and Serving

• These Greek nachos are best served immediately while the pita chips are still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store the cooked lamb and toppings separately from the pita chips and cilantro sauce.
• Reheat the lamb and toppings in the microwave or on the stovetop, and assemble the nachos just before serving.
