Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese crisps
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit Jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 unit Avocado, diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the cheddar cheese crisps on a large baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, and then stir in onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Evenly distribute the seasoned beef over the cheese crisps on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef and cheese crisps.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the nachos are baking, prepare the fresh salsa. In a small mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, and lime juice. Toss to mix well.
When the nachos are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with prepared fresh salsa and diced avocado.
Serve your low carb classic nachos immediately and enjoy!
