Tips
Swap cheddar for crumbled feta cheese.
Dress it up with tiny avocado rosettes. Cut avocado in half lengthwise. Remove pit; peel or scoop out flesh. Place halves, cut sides down, on cutting board. Working with one half at a time, thinly slice cross-wise; gently push/fan slices into a long diagonal line. Roll into small spirals, curling a few slices to make tiny rosettes. Douse with lemon or lime juice and add pinches of Guacamole Dip Mix.
