Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 cheddar cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. While the grill heats, prepare the salsas.
For the classic tomato salsa, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in a small bowl. Stir to mix and set aside.
For the creamy avocado salsa, halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash until mostly smooth. Stir in sour cream, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Butter the insides of the hamburger buns lightly and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Cook the beef patties on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to let it melt.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a beef patty, a spoonful of tomato salsa, and a dollop of avocado salsa.
Close the burgers with the top halves of the buns and serve immediately.
