1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash and slice the tomatoes into rounds. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
3
Shred the Cheddar Cheese
Using a box grater or food processor, shred the cheddar cheese into a bowl.
4
Season the Avocado
In a small bowl, combine the avocado slices with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat the avocado evenly.

5
Layer the Ingredients
On a serving dish or platter, start by arranging the crispy bacon slices as the base. Next, layer the sliced tomatoes evenly over the bacon.
6
Add the Avocado and Cheese
Place the seasoned avocado slices on top of the tomatoes, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while the bacon is still warm. Enjoy your Cali dish as a delightful appetizer or a light meal!
