3. Heat refried beans, stirring until smooth and creamy; set aside.
4. Peel and deseed avocado, and mash with a fork in a bowl along with the extra clove of garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste (double garlic and lemon juice if using 2 avocados).
5. Scatter chips in pretty much a single layer on a micro-wave safe plate.
6. Dot with small spoonfuls of refried beans and sprinkle with shredded cheese and seasoned cooked beef.
7. Microwave up to 1 minute or until cheese melts (you can also heat beans and cheese on chips in a moderate oven, but will have to transfer them back to the plate).

9. Add some salsa to the top if you desire.
10. Serve warm.
