Quick to prepare in under 30 minutes and perfect for sharing, this gluten-free and keto-friendly recipe transforms everyday nachos into a guilt-free indulgence perfect for entertaining or weeknight dinners.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt, pepper, and half the fajita seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until thoroughly cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Slice the bell peppers and onion, and sauté them with the remaining fajita seasoning until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
On the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese in small circles, about 3 inches apart, to create the cheese 'chips'. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and edges turn golden brown.
Remove the cheese crisps from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until they harden.
On a large platter, arrange the cheese crisps and top them with the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables.
Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Fajita Nachos.
