Low Carb Nachos, Family Style
If you happen to have a hankering for nachos but maybe you need something less "carb forward" - then this may be your new go-to! Using pork rinds as the base creates the best texture and a perfect vessel for all your favorite toppings. Ground beef is always a win here, perfectly seasoned with a southwestern kick. Feel free to use shredded chicken or your favorite protein as desired, the possibilities are endless! I like to serve these with a side of homemade guacamole and salsa.
