Low Carb Chicken Nachos. OK, the thought of Chicken Nachos just makes my mouth water but since I can’t eat regular tortilla chips anymore this is how I do it now. You can either make my Carbalose Flour Tortillas chips or…use everything listed in the recipe below, forget the tortilla chips and cover red, yellow, and orange pepper chips or…you can even forget the pepper chips and eat it with a fork. Chips are only used as a conveyance mechanism anyway and with the invention of the fork you don’t need chips. I am using pulled chicken as my base but certainly Pulled Pork would work and so would ground beef. I like pulled meats because they have so much more SURFACE AREA and the cheese sauce can get into more of those nooks & crannies. So have a good time with this and top it as you wish. These low carb chicken nachos are really keto, just don’t tell anyone.
