How to Make Bacon Mex Burgers

  2. Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet.
  4. Grill or pan-fry the patties for 5-6 minutes per side for medium doneness (adjust cooking time based on your desired level of doneness).
  5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns. Spread mayonnaise on both halves of each bun.
  6. Layer avocado slices, crumbled bacon, and your choice of optional toppings on the bottom bun.
  7. Top with the cooked burger patty and the other bun half. Serve immediately and enjoy your Bacon Mex Burgers!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
