Nacho Traditional Nachos

With tomorrow being May 5th (Cinco de Mayo), I decided I should cook up some Mexican fare. But, I'll be honest... I haven't grocery shopped. I do have a recipe to share with you that was inspired from Pinterest. I apologize for not having the website available that I saw a picture that inspired this but this is my interpretation.

This is a tasty version of nachos where I used chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella) in place of cheese, strawberries in place of jalapenos, and sweetened my tortilla chips with sugar and cinnamon. This is a great snack or dessert. Once again, I've utilized strawberries (I've been told I have an obsession).

Strawberry Nutella Nachos

4 flour tortillas (whole wheat pictured)
2 Tbs. butter, melted.
1 Tbs. Sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup Nutella Spread
2 Tbs. heavy cream (you can also use whole milk)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Brush the melted butter on on both sides of the tortillas and cut them into triangles. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl set aside. Put tortilla triangles on a cookie sheet in a single layer and sprinkle with cinnnamon/sugar mixture. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until chips are crisp. (The chips in my picture are darker because I used whole wheat tortillas).

Heat the Nutella spread with the heavy cream in a double boiler over medium low heat. This will thin out the spread to make it more pourable like a "cheese sauce".

To assemble, put the cinnamon chips on a dish, top with Nutella sauce, and then top with strawberries. you may also garnish with whipped cream and/or powdered sugar for a little extra sweetness.

This is one of those things you can make with what's in the fridge. Use your imagination, the family will love it!
