• For The Bacon Guacamole: In a small bowl, add the avocado, 1 tablespoon of the red onions (reserving the other 2 tablespoons for the nachos), 1 tablespoon salsa (reserving 3 tablespoons to serve with the nachos), 1 tablespoon of the crumbled bacon (reserving 2 tablespoons for the nachos) and the juice from 1 quarter of the lime (reserving the other 2 quarters for garnish).
• Mix the guacamole ingredients using a spoon so that the avocado is broken into small chunks (rather than smashing up the avocado with a fork). Then salt and pepper to taste and top with additional crumbled bacon.

• Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 6 - 8 minutes.

• Transfer garlic, peppers and onion to a blender. Add tomatoes with juice, cilantro stems, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Purée until smooth.
• Return Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Sear short ribs in batches, until well-browned all over, about 20 minutes. Transfer browned ribs to a bowl.
• Stir chile powder, cumin and coriander into pot and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it begins to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomato-pepper purée and beer and bring to a simmer. Return short ribs to pot, cover and transfer to oven. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, then uncover pot, give meat a stir, and continue baking until ribs are fork tender and falling off bone, 30 to 45 minutes longer, for a total cooking time of 2 to 2 1/4 hours. (If you have time, let short ribs mixture cool, refrigerate overnight, then remove fat before proceeding.)
• Once ribs are cool enough to handle, remove from pot, reserving sauce. Shred meat and discard bones and gristle. If sauce seems thin, simmer on stove until it thickens enough to coat a wooden spoon. Return meat to pot.
• Heat broiler. Spread tortilla chips on a rimmed baking sheet. Top evenly with meat and sauce. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Broil until hot and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
