Continue to cook until beef is cooked through and drain any accumulated fat.

Step 3

Heat refried beans, stirring until smooth and creamy; set aside.

Step 4

Peel and deseed avocado, and mash with a fork in a bowl along with the extra clove of garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste (double garlic and lemon juice if using 2 avocados).

Scatter chips in pretty much a single layer on a micro-wave safe plate.

Step 6

Dot with small spoonfuls of refried beans and sprinkle with shredded cheese and seasoned cooked beef.

Add dollops of avocado (guacamole) and sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped scallions, chopped tomatoes and sliced jalapenos.

Step 9

Add some salsa to the top if you desire.

Step 10
