Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high to high heat, then add oil and chorizo; brown and crumble, then add onions and garlic and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool on tray. Transfer to a bowl and mix with cheeses. Fill peppers and bake 10 minutes more to brown and bubble.
  • For the BGT: Seed and chop the tomatoes. Peel and finely chop the onion and grate or finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the cilantro.
  • In a bowl combine chopped chiles, onions, garlic, cilantro, salt and lime juice. Halve and pit the avocados and add to bowl; mash guacamole and season with cumin and hot sauce; adjust salt if necessary.
  • Arrange the guacamole in serving dish and top with bands of chopped bacon, scallions and tomato. Garnish with pickled peppers and cilantro. Surround the BGT with chips.
