Ingredients
  • Crazy Feta:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup onions, diced
  • ¼ cup jalepenos, diced
  • 10 ounces of feta cheese
  • Nachos (you can play with these portions based on your preferences):
  • 1-2 large pitas or 3 smaller pitas
  • ¾ cup of the Crazy Feta
  • 2 tablespoons red onions, diced
  • 1-2 tablespoons banana peppers, diced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • Freshly-ground pepper to taste
  • Olives (optional - I opted out)
Instructions
  1. First, you need to make the Crazy Feta. Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the diced jalapeno and cook for another two minutes until the onions and jalapeno start to soften. Next, add the feta cheese. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for another three minutes, stirring frequently to break down the feta and combine it with the onions and jalapeno. You want the pan hot enough that all the ingredients combine but not so hot that the feta completely melts.
  2. Once the feta is done cooking, put it in a bowl and set it aside.
  3. Next, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut the pita into triangles. My large pita and a half yielded about 24 triangles. Coat a baking sheet and the pita triangles with cooking spray. Add the triangles to the baking sheet and cook for five minutes.
  4. Keep a watch on your triangles - I thought they would cook for about 10 minutes which is how long I cook my tortillas to make tortilla chips but they cook way faster!
  5. The final step is assembly. Add about ¾ cup of the Crazy Feta to the baked pita chips. Add red onions and banana peppers. Sprinkle the tablespoon red wine vinegar and freshly-ground black pepper over top and you're τελικό! (That's "finished" in Greek.) Of course, if you so desire, you can also top the nachos with olives... I won't judge you, I promise.
