These super tasty low carb cheese crisps are just like eating nachos – without the chip!
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 ounce can of Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 4.5 ounce can diced green chilies
- 1/2 cup of black beans, rinsed
- Store bought guacamole or Homemade Guacamole
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and then add in the ground chicken, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it browns. Next add the cumin, garlic powder, salt, green chilies, Ro*Tel and the black beans to the pan and stir to combine.
- Simmer for 5 minutes to cook out some of the juices in the pan and then remove from the heat. Cover and set aside.
- Measure out a heaping tablespoon of the cheese and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Space each pile out so you only have 6 on the sheet at a time because they will spread as they cook.
- Bake for 6-7 minutes and remove from the oven. Let the cheese sit for a minute after you take it out of the oven and then with a thin metal spatula, carefully take it off the pan and lay it over a rolling pin to harden. If you want a flat crisp then just place the crisps on a wire baking rack to harden.
- Repeat with the rest of the cheese, you should get about 24 crisps.
- Fill each crisp with the warm chicken topping and a scoop of guacamole.
Recipe Notes
- You can make the cheese crisps ahead of time. Store them in a plastic container until you’re ready to fill them with the chicken.
- To save even more carbs, leave the beans and tomatoes out of the chicken filling.
