Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the spicy ranch and pico de gallo.

5. Remove the nachos from the oven and top with the diced avocado and pico de gallo. Drizzle with spicy ranch and serve any extra sauce on the side for dipping.
6. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well with a whisk. Chill until ready to use.
7. Combine the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
8. Halve the lime and squeeze the juice into the salsa. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
