Ingredients
Scale
For the Chips:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ lb ground beef or chicken
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp taco seasoning (keto-friendly)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup diced red onions
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup guacamole
Instructions
Prepare the Chips:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway, until melted.
- Add almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about ⅛-inch thickness. Cut into triangles using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Place the chips on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely.
Prepare the Toppings:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or chicken and cook until browned. Mix in taco seasoning and set aside.
Assemble the Nachos:
- Arrange the baked chips on an oven-safe plate or baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chips.
- Add the cooked meat, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and red onions. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Top with cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for better texture when making the chips.
- To prevent sticking, grease the parchment paper lightly before rolling the dough.
- For spicier nachos, add a drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the chips a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Assemble and bake nachos just before serving for maximum freshness.
- Substitute ground beef with shredded chicken or turkey for variety.
