Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Six 5-inch pita rounds
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
3/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
3 tablespoons thinly sliced chives

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder and cayenne until smooth.
  • For the nachos: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
