Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
