Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 large avocado
• 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 small red onion
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix the ingredients lightly with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the patties tough.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado and tomato, and thinly slice the red onion. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and lime juice together to create a zesty sauce.

Step 5

To assemble the burgers, lay a large romaine lettuce leaf on a plate. Place a cheese-topped beef patty on the lettuce. Top with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion. Drizzle a spoonful of the lime mayo over the toppings.

Step 6

Wrap the lettuce leaf around the burger and toppings, using it as a low-carb bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, low-carb California Burger!
