Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 2 large Avocado
• 1 medium Tomato
• 0.25 small Red onion
• 2 tbsp, chopped Cilantro
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 0.25 tsp Salt (for salsa)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the burger patties for about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers.

Step 5

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the avocado salsa. Peel and pit the avocados, then dice them into small chunks.

Step 7

Dice the tomato and finely chop the red onion. Add them to a medium bowl along with the avocado.

Step 8

Add 2 tbsp of chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 0.25 tsp salt to the bowl. Gently toss everything together to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

Step 9

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

Step 10

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cheeseburger patty. Top with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa and finish with the top bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Avocado Salsa Cheeseburgers!
