These Greek Nachos topped with hummus became my dinner last week… Rick was out of town, and I didn’t feel like cooking an entire meal just for myself, so I set out to do some snacking instead… along with a little bit Real Housewives binge watching…

Mediterranean Nachos
I’ve been pondering nachos a lot lately. There are just so many variations out there.
For example, a couple summers back, while visiting my mom in New York, we visited a restaurant on Lake Chautauqua that served up Italian Nachos. They were topped with alfredo sauce, tomatoes and ground beef. So yummy! I’ve definitely been wanting to recreate those at home.
And then there are the Poke Nachos – delicate wonton chips topped with ahi tuna, green onions and creamy spicy mayo.
And we can’t forget about these amazing Irish Nachos. Thin sliced tomatoes are topped with all the traditional toppings like cheese, sour cream, and fresh pico de gallo.
Tonight, I let my fridge do the dictating. And came up with these Greek style nachos.
I had some fresh pitas on hand, along with some creamy hummus, and even some Kalamata olives and feta cheese.
And, who doesn’t have half empty jar of pepperoncini sitting in their fridge?
Just me? I used to eat those peppers by the bowlful in high school and college. A Costco sized jar would always be on hand and I’d eat them one after the other until I could barely taste anything anymore because my mouth was on fire…
The pita chips are simple. I just use some kitchen shears, or a large knife, to cut the pita bread into wedges. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of spices – cumin being my particular favorite – and salt and pepper, bake until they’re golden and then get ready to do some topping.
You can also use store-bought pita chips in this recipe. Or, try these Air Fryer Pita Chips!
I put a huge dollop of hummus in the middle of the plate. Because, for me, the hummus is the star of the show. Creamy, tangy and the perfect way to get all those other bits to stick to your pita chips.
Toppings for Greek Nachos
- Hummus
- Feta Cheese
- Kalamata Olives
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Pepperoncinis
- Red Onion (or quick pickled onions)
- Parsley
Variations
- Add some protein to your nachos by topping them with some browned ground lamb or sliced cooked chicken breasts.
- Swap the tzatziki sauce for this yummy yogurt tahini sauce.
- Sprinkle on some fresh dill or mint for a vibrant punch.
Wine Pairings
- The citrus and grassy, herbal notes of Sauvignon Blanc will pair nicely with the briny pepperoncini and fresh parsley on these Mediterranean Nachos.
- Another fun wine pairing option is a Vinho Verde – Its slight effervescence is a nice compliment to the creamy hummus.

I love playing around with different flavors for nachos! Especially since my kids’ tastes change every 2.5 seconds, and nachos are the one base idea for a meal that they can usually agree on 😉 Love your Mediterranean flavors here! And, I haven’t yet watched 13 Reasons Why but my kids and I have talked about it. They’ve brought up the topic at our middle school. Neither of my kids wants to see it but they know that if they do, we’re watching it together after I watch it first.
I really think you should watch it Marlynn – I thought it was really well written and it definitely sucks you in!
Fun idea! I might try that with corn chips sometime–not as Mediterranean but gluten-free and so tasty!
That would totally work for a GF option Suzannah – Enjoy!
Mediterranean nachos sounds delicious for dinner! Yum
Ooh, what a good idea! I love cheese as much as the next gal, but nachos can be SO HEAVY. It’s nice to mix ’em up and have a healthier option, too!
I agree Catherine – Sometimes I just don’t feel like a boatload of cheese and these fit the bill perfectly!
These look amazing! I LOVE nachos and I love hummus so this is like my two favorite things coming together!
Yay! I hope you give them a try soon Liz!
I love Sabra hummus and your light-snacking dinner sounds amazing! We do that kind of dinner quite often at home too. I have never heard of that show but now you got me interested!
You should definitely check out 13 Reason Why Julia – I really found it so interesting (sad too). And, while you’re watching it, these Mediterranean Nachos make a great snack!
Sounds like something I should try! I love everything Mediterranean ?
I wish that show had been around when my girls were teens. I thought it was so well done. But, on to the nachos! Love the tzatziki. I thought it was labneh at first. I could easily eat this every day.
LOVED THIS!! Thank you for this recipe! We just started the Mediterranean diet and it’s been tough to figure out what we like and build up an arsenal of favorite recipes. This was so good that it’ll be a go-to recipe in the future 🙂 I didn’t have pita so just used tortilla chips and it was great. I added some roasted purple sweet potatoes warmed up in dill oil, diced cucumbers, shredded carrots, and chopped spinach.
Thank you Bianca – Your additions sound delicious!
