Arabian Nachos

Ingredients

1 Can Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans)Drained
1 tsp Sumac
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Cumin
2 tbsp Tahini
1-2 Lemonjuice
3 tbsp Greek Yoghurt or Labneh
2 Persian CucumbersDiced
1 TomatoDiced
0.5 Red OnionDiced

Method

1

Mix the spices together in a bow and add them to the drained chickpeas (garbanzo beans), mix well

2

Turn on your oven to a medium high heat, add the chickpeas to a baking tray making sure they are spread out. Roast them for about 15 minutes until starting to crisp up

3

Mix the labneh/yoghurt with the tahini and a squeeze of lemon juice, blend well

4

Dice the cucumber, tomato and red onion into the same size cubes, add some salt, pepper and lemon juice, mix well.

5

If you are using pita bread, cut it into nacho size pieces. Place in a oven safe dish and warm them up for a few minutes (just before removing your chickpeas)

6

In a nice dish, layer your toasted pita bread slices, then top it with the chickpeas, tomato/cucumber salsa mixture and then the labneh/yoghurt sauce.

7

If you want to add diced spring onions or grate some cheese on it, now is the time. Tuck in!

Notes

Homemade pita nachos, loaded with roasted chickpeas in a sumac, paprika, cumin spice, topped with a tahini, labneh lemon sauce. 

Add some grated cheese if you have any at home, dice up some spring/green onions if you feel like it and use store-bought tortillas if making your own pita bread seems like too much effort!
