In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Bacon (8 slices) until browned and crispy, about 5-10 minutes. Take out the bacon once it is crispy and place it onto a lined paper towel to drain excess oil. Leave about 1 Tbsp of bacon fat in the pan.

Step 4

Add half of the bacon, Salt (to taste) , and 1 cup of the Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (1 cup) and stir until melted.

Step 5

Top with the remaining Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (1 cup) and transfer to the oven to broil until the top is browned, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Arrange the Avocado (1) on top, sprinkle the other half of the bacon, and garnish with Fresh Cilantro (to taste) . Serve with Tortilla Chips (to taste) and Limes (to taste) .
