Ingredients

  • 1 bag stacy
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2/3 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, chopped
  • 2/3 cup romaine lettuce, shaved
  • 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 4 can garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tablespoon tahini
  • 4 tablespoon to 5 ice cubes
  • 1 cup 2% reduced fat greek yogurt
  • 1 cup small cucumber — half finely diced, half diced small (but larger than the other half)
  • 1 sprig dill, finely chopped

Preparation

Baking Directions:

To make the hummus:Drain the chickpeas (and de-skin them if you choose for creamier hummus).

  Blend in a food processor, dropping in the ice cubes one by one.

(This helps create a very smooth texture).

  Once blended, put them in a bowl and add the juice of one lemon, 2 crushed garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Mix well.

Add water if a thinner consistency (similar to nacho cheese or refried beans) is preferred.

To make the tzatziki:In a bowl combine the Greek yogurt, the rest of the garlic, the remainder of the lemon juice, the dill, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, the finely diced cucumbers, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

To make the nachos:Top the pita chips with a drizzling of the hummus.

Add a healthy dollop of the tzatziki and sprinkle with the remaining cucumbers, the lettuce, the olives, the tomatoes and the feta.

  Serve and enjoy!
