Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 4 pieces red onion slices
- 0.25 cup low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt (optional topping)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all the spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the seasoned ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat a grill pan, skillet, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface with a small amount of cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Cook the burger patties for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For safety, the internal temperature should reach at least 160°F (71°C).
While the burger patties are cooking, toast the whole wheat buns on the grill (optional) for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a burger patty, followed by a slice of tomato and a slice of red onion. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with hot sauce if desired for a spicy topping.
Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately. Pair with a side salad or baked sweet potato fries for a complete meal!
