1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.

6. Cheese It Up: Generously top with shredded cheese, ensuring that it covers all the toppings.
7. Drizzle with Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top to help the cheese melt beautifully.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. Garnish: Once out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then, top with fresh avocado slices and chopped cilantro.
10. Serve: Cut into wedges and serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
