Ingredients

Cheese Chips

  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for extra crunch)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt
  • 1 lb ground beef (or your choice of protein)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning blend)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup salsa (low-carb version if preferred)
  • 1 avocado avocado (mashed for guacamole)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • ½ cup sour cream

  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Let cheese chips cool. Meanwhile, cook ground beef in olive oil until browned, add taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Mash avocado with lime juice, salt, and cilantro for guacamole. Prepare diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, salsa, and sour cream.
  • Arrange cheese chips on a platter, top with seasoned beef, sprinkle shredded cheddar, and melt in the oven for 2-3 minutes. Add toppings and serve.

Notes

For extra crunch, add ground flaxseed to the cheese mixture. Adjust toppings to taste for heat and flavor.
