Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/2 cup cooked ground beef
- 1/4 cup jalapeños, sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Create cheese crisps by placing small mounds of shredded cheese (about 1 tablespoon each) on the parchment paper, leaving space between each mound.
- Bake the cheese crisps for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden and become crispy around the edges. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove cheese crisps from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes until they become firm and chip-like.
- In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional keto-friendly taco seasoning.
- Drain any excess fat from the ground beef and set aside.
- Arrange the cooled cheese crisps on a serving plate, creating a nacho-like base.
- Top the cheese crisps with the cooked ground beef, distributing evenly.
- Sprinkle sliced jalapeños over the nachos for added heat and flavor.
- Add dollops of sour cream and guacamole on top or serve on the side for dipping.
- Serve immediately while cheese crisps are still crisp and warm.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cheese: For the crisps, opt for a good melting cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack for the best flavor and texture.
- Watch the Oven: Keep a close eye on the cheese crisps while they bake; they can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a matter of seconds.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other keto-friendly toppings like olives, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices to make your nachos even more delicious.
- Make it Spicy: If you love heat, consider adding some sliced jalapeños to the ground beef as it cooks for an extra kick.
- Serve Immediately: These nachos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese crisps are still crunchy. If you need to prepare in advance, keep toppings separate and assemble just before serving.
