06 - Place in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Allow to cool slightly, then spread mashed avocado in a smooth, even layer atop the nachos, leaving a visible chip border.
08 - Fill a piping bag or a zip-top bag with sour cream, snip a small corner, and pipe field lines, goal boxes, and a center circle over the guacamole.
09 - Use diced red bell pepper pieces for corner flags, sliced black olives as players, and cherry tomatoes with chopped cilantro to represent the crowd or field accents.
