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

- Add some salsa to the top if you desire.
- Serve warm.
