4. Add Vegetables: Follow with the diced bell peppers, red onions, and cherry tomatoes.
5. Layer Lettuce: Gently pack in the chopped Romaine lettuce, providing a nice cushion for the remaining ingredients.
6. Cheese and Avocado: If using, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the lettuce, followed by the diced avocado.
