Preparation
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.
