Cooking instruction summary:
Guacamole - Peel and de-seed the avocado. Scoop out and mash the flesh in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, salt to taste, and stir to combine. Optionally based on what you like in your guacamole, add pico de gallo, bell pepper, jalepenos, cilantro, and stir to combine; set guacamole aside. Nachos - On a large microwave-safe platter or in a shallow bowl (or preheat oven to 375F and use an oven-safe skillet or baking sheet), add half the chips and sprinkle with half the cheese. Top with the remaining chips, and sprinkle with remaining cheese making sure all the chips are nicely covered. Microwave until cheese has melted, about 1 minute on high power (or bake until cheese has melted, about 5 to 10 minutes). Add the guacamole to the center of the nachos and sprinkle with pico de gallow. Optionally and evenly sprinkle with bell pepper, jalepenos, and cilantro. Optionally add a dollop of sour cream before serving. Nachos are best warm and fresh.
