How to Make Avocado Salsa Cheeseburgers

1. Cut 1 ripe avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
2. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup your favorite salsa, 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco chipotle sauce. Do not overmix.
4. Divide the beef mixture into 6 equal portions and gently form into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Add pepper jack cheese slices during the last minute of grilling.
6. Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill.
7. Top each burger with the chilled avocado salsa and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as skillet fries and a black bean and corn salad.
