Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 Fresh jalapenos
- 1 Avocado
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently but thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill or cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, slice the fresh jalapenos into thin rings. If you prefer a milder spice, remove the seeds before slicing.
Halve and scoop out the avocado, then mash it in a small bowl with the lime juice. Add a pinch of salt to season.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cooked burger patty, and a few slices of fresh jalapeno. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately, pairing with your favorite sides like fries or a fresh salad.
