Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the shredded cheddar cheese into small circles on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced apart. This will be the base of your cheese chips.
Bake the cheese until the edges are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely to harden.
While the cheese chips are cooling, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then return it to the heat. Add garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Set aside.
For the fresh salsa, in a small bowl, combine diced tomato, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and optional jalapeño. Mix well and set aside.
Once your cheese chips have cooled and set, arrange them on a serving platter or individual plates.
Top the cheese chips with the seasoned beef mixture.
Sprinkle the fresh salsa on top of the beef layer, and then add diced avocado.
Finish by adding dollops of sour cream over the nachos.
Serve immediately and enjoy a keto-friendly nacho feast!
