Keto Nachos Recipe
As you can see below from the picture, the pork rinds are unrecognizable. You may even be thinking its impossible to get a chip out of a pork rind, but we've done it for you and they came out even better than expected. The trick to these chips is process the pork rinds with Mexican frying cheese. You can use any kind, but we went for Queso Blanco and it came out perfect. This particular cheese isn't melty like the others we are used to so when you fry it up it binds everything together to create the chip. We also added a taco seasoning mixture to give it some kick. Even if all you had for a nachos topping was cheese, they would be just as delicious as the rest.

Bake for 5 minutes at 450 degree Fahrenheit. (Keep any eye on them as to not let them burn since ovens can vary in cook time!).

Layer chips onto a plate or skillet. Layer on cooked meat and sprinkle with cheese.
