  • 1 cup Mexican cheese mix
  • 2 avocados diced

  3. Turn the heat off, top with cheese blend, cover and leave for a few minutes, until cheese melts.
  4. Transfer to serving plates and top with diced avocado, chopped purple onion and fresh cilantro leaves. Optional: sprinkle with some crumbled queso fresco, feta or mozzarella cheese.
