DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet, cook American Lamb over medium-high heat until almost completely browned, approximately 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in onions, garlic, oregano, paprika, fennel and pepper; continue to cook 4 to 5 minutes, until the onions are almost golden. Adjust seasoning with salt. Remove from heat; keep warm until ready to serve.
For each serving, place 1-1/2 cups warmed pita chips in a wide soup plate; top with 1 cup American Lamb-onion mixture. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup tomatoes, 2 tablespoons scallions, 2 tablespoons feta and 2 tablespoons olives. Top with 2 tablespoons yogurt and garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve hot.
