Made as written for ZWT6, mostly because your recipe happily combines most of my fave Greek ingredients & all are easily available here in Iceland. I added a bit of garlic in 2 places: Sprinkled on the pita wedges & in the meat mixture. Must have my garlic where it works so well. I used my magic bullet to whiz the sauce, so that was very fast. Served as part of an appy nite, I fully expected we would enjoy these tasty nachos & we did. Thx for sharing your recipe w/us.

Just finished eating these while watching Brazil play PRK in the World Cup 2010. The score's 2-0 for Brazil right now and these great greek-inspired 'nachos' really scored with my family! Everything tasted great together. Perfect with ice-cold beer. Thanks.
