How to Make Avocado Beef Burgers

  1. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and peel.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice over both avocado halves to prevent browning.
  3. Slice one avocado half and set aside for topping.
  4. Mash the remaining avocado half in a medium bowl with a fork.
  5. Add 1-2 minced jalapeños (adjust to taste), 1 large egg, 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado.
  6. Stir until well combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1 pound of ground beef until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  8. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
  9. Refrigerate the patties for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
  10. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat or heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  11. Grill or pan-fry the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  12. Top each patty with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese during the last minute of cooking and let it melt.
  13. While the patties cook, butter each hamburger bun and toast lightly on the top rack of the grill or in a broiler for 1-2 minutes per side.
  14. Spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns.
  15. Layer each burger with a patty, tomato slice, a slice of the reserved avocado, onion, and lettuce.
  16. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as french fries or potato chips.
