Nachos are such a fun food to eat, but even more fun to make.  You can create the ultimate gourmet nacho dish right in your own kitchen.  Greek Nachos with Creamy Hummus is part of a wonderful recipe collaboration from a bunch of very talented Canadian bloggers.

Do you love nachos?  We love them and make them often.  The fun thing about nachos is you can make whatever flavour your heart desires.  Greek Nachos with Creamy Hummus is a wonderful way to enjoy two different countries in one awesome dish.

I will admit when I decided on making this tasty dish, my husband was not sure it would work.  I told him don’t worry they will be awesome…and they were.  Now they are his favourite…and mine. The flavours of Greece are definitely the star of the show in this wonderful Mexican inspired dish.  I really can’t wait till I make them again.

I started with the homemade hummus.  If you have never made hummus before it is so easy and tastes so much better than store bought.  You can season it with whatever you like.  My husband is not a raw garlic fan, but that is not an issue here.  Silk Road spices are my all time favourite and their wonderful Greek Seasoning just happened to make it’s way into this great dish.  Along with some olive oil, greek yogurt, tahini paste, water…and topped with Kalamata olives, this hummus rocks!!

For this dish I used my Lodge Cast Iron skillet which I totally love!!  They keep the nachos nice and hot while we enjoy them with our wine.

The chips were topped with two types of cheese, feta of course and a herb and garlic blend.  On top of the cheese I added artichokes and placed it in the oven to bake.  When they were done I finished them off with toppings of diced tomatoes, sliced olives and finely chopped spinach.

  23. Gloria, this is absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful way to marry two unique flavour cultures. I love a good hummus and your use of nachos and hummus is the perfect deconstruction of the chip and dip idea.
    Cheers!

  39. OH. MY. GOSH. That first picture is just divine! My mother in law has us over every Sunday night for nachos, but she knows that I don’t really like nacho cheese that much so she’s gotten to where she buys me hummus to go with the chips set out. This is so happening next Sunday.
