Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Arrange the bacon on the baking sheet. Evenly coat the tops of the slices with all of the sugar and spice mixture, making sure to press it into the meat. Bake until crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.

While the bacon is cooking, use a spoon to scoop the flesh from the skins of the avocado and place it in a medium bowl. Add the pico de gallo and mash with a fork to break up the avocado and combine the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Place a skillet large enough to accommodate both slices of bread over medium heat. Generously coat one side of each slice of bread with butter, place butter side down in the skillet. Add 1 slice each of Cheddar, pepper Jack, Swiss, and American cheese to each slice of bread.

Add all of the bacon to 1 slice of bread. Cook until the bread turns golden brown on the bottom and the cheese melts, 5 to 7 minutes.

Move both slices of bread to a cutting board. Spread all of the guacamole onto the slice of bread without the bacon. Generously top both slices with Doritos chips.

Combine the slices to form a sandwich. Smash the sandwich a little to break up the chips, cut it in half and devour.
