The past couple of weeks have been filled with “Greek food” at our house. I made some Chicken Gyros, then did a Ground Beef version. And while enjoying the Ground Beef Gyros, I had the idea to transform them into Greek “Pita-chos” – like nachos…with pita chips…with this very delicious, lemony ground beef on top.

And then, took it “next level” and added some tzatziki sauce. It did add to the cost of the meal, but it really “completed” and complemented it well. But still…it was well under $10 for our family of 6…and was delicious too!

Hope you enjoy these “pita-chos”…
