Nacho, Nacho Lamb! Greek Lamb Mince Nachos

The best nachos for your next night of Netflix.

Serves: 4
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes

Ingredients
500g lamb mince
2 wholemeal Lebanese pita breads, cut into 7cm triangles
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
400g napolitana tomato pasta sauce
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped + extra small leaves, to serve
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
80g feta cheese, crumbled
Tzatziki, green salad and lemon wedges, to serve

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C if fan-forced). Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper and spread pita in a single layer, spraying both sides lightly with oil spray. Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, or until crisp and golden. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over mediumhigh heat. Cook mince, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4-5 minutes or until browed. Add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes. Add sauce, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir through the oregano.
Arrange pita crisps in the base of the baking dish. Top with lamb mixture, sprinkle with olives and cheese and bake in the oven for 5- 7 minutes or until cheese is lightly golden.
Sprinkle with oregano leaves and serve lamb nachos with tzatziki, green salad and lemon wedges.

Tips:
Sliced lamb rump or legs would also work well in this recipe.
Use grated mozzarella instead of feta for cheesier nachos.
Any choice of tomato pasta sauce would work in this recipe – napolitana contains garlic, onions, carrots and herbs.
