Lightened Up Greek Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the tortilla chips on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with the black beans, tomato and scallions. Bake until warmed through, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce and prepare the jackfruit.
• For the low-fat cheese sauce: Combine the flour, salt, onion powder and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour toasts, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk. Add the cream cheese and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and even. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cheese until it melts.
• For the jackfruit: Put the olive oil and jackfruit in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chili powder and garlic salt and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the salsa and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Stir the salsa into the cheese sauce. Top the nachos with the jackfruit. Pour the salsa-and-cheese-sauce mixture over the nachos. Top the nachos with the lettuce and guacamole. Dollop on the sour cream or put it in a squeeze bottle and squeeze it in a zig-zag pattern all over the nachos.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onions and half of the cilantro. Season with salt and set aside.
• Spread the Baked Tortilla Chips on a baking sheet and top with the black beans, pinto beans, olives, Cheddar and pepper Jack. Cook until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
• While the nachos are cooking, slice each lime into 6 wedges. Squeeze 2 of the wedges into the yogurt, season with a pinch of salt and stir. Reserve the remaining wedges for serving.
• While the chips are still hot, scatter the tomato mixture and avocados on top, then drizzle on the yogurt. Top with the remaining chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil. Stack the tortillas and cut the pile into sixths to make chips. Spread the chips out in a single layer on 2 large baking sheets and season with salt. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack on the second-to-top position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on each side. Set aside.
• Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the honey and half of the lemon juice and zest in a mixing bowl. Cut the cucumber in half and dice one half into 1/4-inch pieces. Add the cucumber to the bowl with the vinaigrette along with the grape tomatoes. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Grate the other half of the cucumber on a box grater over a mixing bowl. Wrap the grated cucumber in a kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess liquid over the bowl. Reserve the liquid. Place the grated cucumber into another bowl and add the remaining lemon zest and juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, the yogurt, dill and parsley. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Add the hummus to the bowl with the reserved cucumber liquid and whisk to combine. The hummus should be thin enough to drizzle; if not, add 1 tablespoon water at a time until you reach the proper consistency.
• Spread the pita chips onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, allowing some overlap. Scatter the kasseri cheese evenly on top and bake until the cheese is melted and the pita chips are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, scatter the shredded chicken evenly all over the pita chips. Drizzle with the hummus and top with the marinated cucumbers and tomatoes using a slotted spoon. Garnish with dollops of the cucumber yogurt sauce and kalamata olives.
