Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 whole lime
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomato
• 1 whole avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Zest the lime and set the zest aside. Juice the lime and set the juice aside separately.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure tender burgers.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾-inch thick.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium-well. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.

Step 7

While the burgers cook, prepare the lime mayo by mixing mayonnaise and lime zest in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of lime mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a burger patty, sliced avocado, and the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the zesty goodness of Sir Lime Burgers!
