Preparation

What You Need

3 whole wheat pitas, each about 6-1/2 inches (16 cm) in diameter

3 tbsp (45 ml) sun-dried tomato pesto

2/3 cup (160 ml) shredded Canadian Old Cheddar cheese

1/3 cup (80 ml) shredded Canadian Mozzarella cheese

1/3 cup (80 ml) shredded Canadian Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup (125 ml) corn kernels

3 tbsp (45 ml) sliced black olives

3 tbsp (45 ml) diced tomatoes

1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream

Chopped chives

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Cut each pita into 8 wedges and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until crisp. Allow to cool.

Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix together cheeses. Spread the pita wedges onto a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spread the sun-dried tomato pesto over the pita wedges. Sprinkle with half the corn, olives and tomatoes and 1/3 cup (80 mL) of the cheese. Repeat with remaining corn, olives and tomatoes. Sprinkle all over with remaining cheese.

Broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Place nachos onto a serving platter and top with sour cream.

Tips

For an interesting twist, you can replace the sun-dried tomato pesto with an olive tapenade.
