Make Guacamole

In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add lime juice, salt, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced steak or chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing Cheese Sauce

Make Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Add the shredded cheese and salt, stirring until melted and smooth.
