Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, red onion, bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a spoon, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F). Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep them juicy.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly in a toaster or on the grill until golden-brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a slice of avocado, a slice of tomato, and a leaf of lettuce.
Spread a thin layer of sour cream on the inside of the top half of each bun. Optional: Add a few drops of hot sauce to the sour cream for an extra kick.
Place the top bun on the burger and serve immediately.
