Mediterranean nachos take the ultimate comfort food and gives it a new, mediterranean twist. So gooey and comforting, no one will ever know these nachos have less than half the calories of traditional nachos with a protein boost that makes them healthy enough to call dinner!

So I have this thing about nachos. Like a serious love, can’t get enough type of thing. But they always seem to be on that unofficial list of foods I don’t eat. My husband will order them at a restaurant in a heartbeat, and I always just sit there with food envy.

Some of my very favorite nachos (I of course have to taste test every time her orders 😉 ) are at Pita Jungle. It’s ironic because Pita Jungle is supposed to be “healthy” then they have these bomb nachos and now whenever I go there, that’s all I want to order. I mean, at least they’re made from real ingredients? No funky processed cheese or weirdness.

I’ve been dying to make some nachos of my own and I wanted to play a little off theirs, but give it more of a Mediterranean twist. You know hummus, tzatziki, feta, marinated chicken, and of course California Ripe Olives. California olives are a great piece of the Mediterranean diet, and I’m not one for “diets”, but I think we can all agree that those Mediterraneans are doing things right. Lean protein, olives, olive oil…the good stuff.

They were so dreamy and decadent tasting that Steve and I gobbled up a good portion of the batch pretty darn quick. So many of my favorite flavors, tons of textures and a generous drizzle of Sriracha for spice makes these babies pretty irresistible.
