Low Carb Mexican Crisps

This is one of those recipes that I wasn’t sure if I should post, it is so simple.

I almost didn’t want to share this recipe. It so simple and basic but I don’t know if everyone knows about this recipe. It is perfect for busy days or lazy days. It is similar to tostadas but different at the same time. This is basically a low carb or trim healthy mama s version. If you look around my site, you can tell I love Mexican food. I could eat it everyday. I enjoy Tex-Mex and more authentic Mexican food. I have even made my own langua tacos. Yum! Here is another way to get that Mexican flavor in a super fast and easy way.

You can dress these up or down as much as you want.

These are perfect for picky kids. They can add to the crisps as little or as much as they want. You can even hide some finely diced mushrooms or well cooked and seasoned cauliflower rice. I let my teens add as much toppings as they wanted. If you have really little ones or even clumsy teens, after adding the meat and cheese you can cut them into triangles to make it easier for them to handle. I lose a decent amount of toppings with almost every bite.

This recipe can be made with various types of meat.

I had some leftover roasted turkey. I took the meat and chopped it. I added the meat to the skillet and some salsa to the skillet as it reheated. I added Mexican seasonings, basically a diy taco seasoning. I followed the recipe as written the rest of the way. If your meat has a mild flavor, you can use your leftover meat in this recipe. Flavor it up as much or as little as you want.
