Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns, toasted
- 0.5 cups guacamole
- 0.5 cups salsa
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 8 tomato slices
- 8 red onion rings
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and diced jalapeño.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burger patties tough.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and form into burger patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help the burgers cook evenly.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add a slice of pepper jack cheese to each burger patty and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.
Remove the burger patties from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of guacamole on the bottom half of a toasted burger bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, tomato slices, onion rings, and a spoonful of salsa. Place the top half of the bun on top.
Repeat with the remaining buns and ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Beef Burgers!
