  • Once the oven is heated, place the chicken in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
  • Then, chop the bell pepper and onions.
  • Then, heat a small cast iron skillet to medium heat.
  • Once heated, add the avocado oil.
  • Once the oil is heated, add the bell peppers and onions. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir once in a while.
  • Then, grate the cheddar and chop the tomatoes.
  • Make the guacamole. Mash the avocado in a bowl. Add the minced garlic and jalapeno. Stir. Then, add the salt, pepper and lemon juice. Stir again and set aside.
  • Then, make the nacho cheese.
  • Heat a larger cast iron skillet to medium-high heat.
