Whatever you have been looking for, pork rind nachos are it! Have you been trying to go low carb, but struggling to find food you enjoy as much as the beloved carbs? This recipe will be your new favorite! Pork rind nachos are low carb, high in protein, and will satisfy your cravings with minimal effort.

Pork rinds have snuck their way into my list of regular keto snacks and have transformed into my favorite cheat meal without the cheat. When I decided to go low carb, due to gestational diabetes, it took me months to really figure out what recipes worked for me. If you don’t like what you are eating, it will make it a million times harder to stick to.

Lucky for me, my mom had been eating low carb for years and I got some great recipes from her. After seeing her make these numerous times, I finally decided to try them for myself. I am so glad I did!

With pork rind nachos you get all the familiar flavors of taco meat, cheese, and any toppings you like, but do not miss out on any of the crunch of traditional nachos. If anything, I like these even more!

They are also great as a quick and easy meal. Cook a package of ground beef, or ground chicken for a lower calorie option, at the start of the week, and the nachos can be thrown together in 10 minutes or less with a microwave or an oven.

Pork rind nachos are also very flexible when it comes to fitting your calories and macros, if you are tracking them. Have some extra calories left over? Maybe you want to add some extra toppings. Not hitting your daily protein? Reduce one of the toppings and add extra meat. It really can fit whatever you are needing.
