Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the bell peppers lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips to mimic nacho chips. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice blend.
Rub the chicken breasts generously with the spice blend.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sauté the bell pepper strips for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still have a crunch.
Spread the sautéed bell pepper strips onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Scatter the sliced chicken evenly over the bell peppers, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the nachos are baking, prepare the avocado by removing the pit and peeling. Dice the avocado and toss it with fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with the avocado mixture, a dollop of sour cream, and your favorite salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Fajita Nachos!
