Baked Pesto Nachos Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large bag of tortilla chips
• 2 cups of shredded Dutch Cheeseman Pesto Cheese
• 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup of sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for added heat)
• 1/2 cup of sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 1/2 cup of guacamole (optional, for serving)
• Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Nachos: Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.

3. Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded Pesto Cheese generously over the tortilla chips. Ensure the chips are well covered for that perfect melty goodness.

4. Add Vegetables: Distribute the cherry tomatoes, black olives, red onion, and jalapeño slices (if using) evenly over the cheese-covered chips.

5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the chips are golden brown.

6. Garnish: Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil leaves and a dash of freshly ground black pepper.

7. Serve: Serve the baked pesto nachos hot, with sour cream and guacamole on the side for dipping, if desired.
