Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Lettuce

    Thoroughly wash the lettuce leaves under cold running water. Shake off excess water and chop or tear into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cheese

    If using block cheese, grate or crumble the cheese into small pieces. If using pre-shredded cheese, set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Guacamole

    If using homemade guacamole, ensure it's ready to serve. If using store-bought, take it out of the refrigerator and give it a good stir.

  4. 4

    Prepare Sour Cream

    Keep sour cream in a serving bowl or container ready for serving.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large serving bowl, layer the washed and prepared lettuce as the base. Evenly distribute the grated or crumbled cheese on top of the lettuce.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Next, dollop the sour cream on top of the cheese, followed by spooning the guacamole over the sour cream.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, allowing guests to mix the ingredients together as they wish, or serve in individual bowls for a more personalized touch.
