Instructions

Make a batch of our keto tortilla chips. Try and get them extra crisp by either using a dehydrator or leaving them in the oven at around 250F (time will vary, so check in on them every 15 min or so). Set aside to cool while you prepare the rest.

Cook the beef!

Heat up oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in garlic, onion, bacon (optional) and cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to caramelize (7-10 minutes). Add in the ground beef with the taco spices, and continue to cook until the beef is cooked through. Try and drain your beef of excessive juices so it doesn't turn your tortilla chips soggy.

For the keto nachos

Turn on the broiler.
In a baking sheet or oven-proof skillet, arrange a layer of tortilla chips, followed by cheese, beef and olives (optional). Repeat with a second layer and broil until the cheese melts. I prefer to do a quick broil to ensure the meat juices don't turn the tortilla chips soggy.
Serve right away with toppings of choice.

Notes

*I'm personally not the biggest cumin fan so I add it sparingly (1/4 tsp), but if it's your thing you can add up to 1/2 tsp.

Please note that nutrition facts were estimated assuming a yield of 4 (tortilla chips, beef and cheese). Nutrition values for the toppings will vary a lot depending on quantities, etc (but on average, they won't be more than 1-3g net carbs).
