Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 whole lime
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
Instructions
Zest the lime and set the zest aside. Juice the lime and set the juice aside separately.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure tender burgers.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium-well. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
While the burgers cook, prepare the lime mayo by mixing mayonnaise and lime zest in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of lime mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a burger patty, sliced avocado, and the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the zesty goodness of Sir Lime Burgers!
