Guacamole Burgers

Category: Recipes

Ingredients:
For the Guacamole
2 ripe avocados from Mexico, peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 small red, ripe tomato, diced
½ cup cilantro leaves, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
Juice of one lime
1 jalapeno, stem and seeds removed, finely diced (optional)

For the Burgers
2 pounds ground sirloin, formed into four patties
1 teaspoon steak seasoning
4 hamburger buns
4 1-oz slices cheddar cheese
Green leaf lettuce
2 ripe, red tomatoes, sliced
1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced

Preparation:
PREPARE THE GUACAMOLE: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the avocado, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt and jalapeno. Stir to combine and then set aside while preparing the burgers.
PREPARE THE BURGERS: Season each patty with steak seasoning on both sides before cooking. You can use a skillet, grill pan, or a grill over high heat to cook your burgers to desired degree of doneness. When the burgers are almost finished cooking, toast the buns in a toaster oven, a dry skillet, or on the grill. Assemble the burgers by layering the bottom half of each bun with leaves of lettuce, a burger patty, a slice of cheese, slices of onion, and slices of tomato. Top with a generous scoop of guacamole, and cover with bun.
