Chipless Nachos

Quick Chipless Nachos

layer:
lettuce
mushrooms
cabbage
green jalapeno slices
black olives
purple onion
2 cherry tomatoes cut in half
In a bowl toss a cup of ground pre-cooked hamburger with low-carb taco seasoning mix (check the link for my new favorite mix). Add 2 Tbsp water. Stir with a fork. Place plate on bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring at 1 minute. Let rest.
With a spoon distribute meat across the top of the lettuce and other toppings.
Add shredded cheese (I use pre-shredded colby jack/cheddar). Place in the microwave for another 30 seconds, just until cheese is melted. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp taco sauce and 2 Tbsp Caesar Salad dressing (I use Newman’s Own).
Serve it up!
This is really quick and easy, especially if you keep bagged salad on hand (which I do) and are in a real pinch, especially in hot weather when you need something savory. The lettuce and other veggies do not wilt, and you’ve just enjoyed yourself the easiest plate of chipless nachos ever.
For a more ‘authentic’ feel, you can shred your lettuce and also top with fresh cilantro and parsley.
