Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for guacamole)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 0.5 piece Jalapeño (optional)
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 pieces Red onion slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle it with vegetable oil. Once hot, cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium, or longer if desired. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
While the patties cook, prepare the guacamole. Scoop the avocado into a small bowl and mash it with a fork. Stir in the lime juice, salt, cilantro, and finely diced jalapeño, if using. Mix until smooth but slightly chunky.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of guacamole on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then a tomato slice, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, and a red onion slice. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
Enjoy your homemade Mexi Burger with a side of tortilla chips or sweet potato fries!
