Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Jalapeño, minced (optional)
- 1 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 tsp Salt (for Pico de Gallo)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt. Mix well to make the Pico de Gallo and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a shallow dimple in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the pan with a lid or piece of foil for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Toast the hamburger buns briefly in the same pan until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the bottom half of each bun. Spoon a generous amount of Pico de Gallo on top of the melted cheese.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pico De Gallo Garlic Burgers with a side of fries or a fresh salad!
