These Keto Nachos are loaded with super crispy chicken, creamy queso, and all the toppings your heart could possibly desire!!!

We have put away some nachos in our days, but these Keto Nachos are the new nacho king.
Every bite is crunchy and cheesy with a little bit of spice, just like a good plate of nachos should taste. And because of the general shape of pork rinds, they are a superior queso carrier than the more traditional corn tortilla chip.

Personally, corn has always been a problem in our diet. Pre-Keto a lot of our snacks and meals relied on highly processed corn products. Even after being keto for a while, a warm basket of tortilla chips at our favorite Mexican restaurant was our kryptonite.
But we know better now, corn is one of the biggest players in causing widespread inflammation. If you aren’t feeling 100% try keeping a food journal and identify the foods that cause issues and make substitutions when necessary. Eliminating foods that negatively affect your body is one of the quickest and easiest ways the feel your absolute best. However, sometimes finding which foods those are can be tricky.

If we had to choose our last meal, it would definitely be nachos. Of course, they'd be swimming in creamy queso, carnitas, and a variety of delicious salsas. And you know if this is our last meal, it’s probably going to be made using corn tortilla chips (#sorrynotosrry, why bother at this point?). If it’s anything other than our last meal, we're going to stick with pork rinds.
