Pineapple & Canadian Bacon Nachos

This recipe can easily be changed to suit your tastes. I am not a big fan of Canadian bacon; so I would substitute cooked bacon. I did not have sun-dried tomato pesto. I used a combination of Favorite Pesto (blog: 4/12/13) & mayonnaise. Use whatever cheese you like or have on hand. I would like to try just soft chevre next time.

Ingredients:

4 ounces sliced Canadian bacon
4 ounces crumbled soft chevre
4 ounces shredded mozzarella
4 ounces fresh pineapple chunks
about 16 whole corn tortilla chips
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato pesto
crushed red pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450-degrees. Line a 13x9-inch pan with parchment paper.

Cut the Canadian bacon into wedges slightly smaller than the size of the tortilla chips.

Slice the fresh pineapple to half the size of the Canadian bacon.

Arrange the chips in a single layer. Smear a layer of pesto, sprinkle with the cheeses. Layer on the Canadian bacon, followed by the pineapple chunks. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Bake for 4-6 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
