Swap out your regular nachos for this high protein and tasty lamb version. Full of the flavours of the Middle East, the toasted pita triangles turn into a healthier version of tortilla chips, perfect for scooping up the tangy mince and toppings. Don't skip the green tahini sauce, it's easy to blitz together and brings a creamy herby goodness to this dish. It'll keep for a week in the fridge and is great on everything!
