Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty, making them slightly larger than the buns.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is reached. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.
While the burgers are cooking, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add mayonnaise and lime juice, and mash together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin, even slices.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cheese-topped patty, a few rings of red onion, and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful California burgers!
