Instructions:
Make the Keto Nacho Chips:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix shredded cheddar cheese with chili powder and garlic powder in a bowl.
Spoon small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, flattening each one slightly into a circle.
Bake for 6-8 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool to firm up.
Prepare the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Nachos:
Arrange the keto nacho chips on a large plate or baking tray.
Top with the seasoned ground beef and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
If desired, place the nachos back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Add Toppings:
Finish with diced tomatoes, jalapeños, black olives, and any optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro.
