Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup Enchilada sauce
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 8 Tomato slices
• 8 Red onion slices
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, enchilada sauce, panko breadcrumbs, shredded Mexican cheese blend, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the burger patties into the pan.

Step 4

Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juiciness.

Step 5

While the burgers cook, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 6

Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or stovetop for extra flavor and texture.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked enchilada burger patty. Top with tomato slices, red onion slices, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Pair with tortilla chips, salsa, or a side salad for a full meal.
