How to Make Kinda Sorta Tex Mex Burger

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, onion flakes, cayenne pepper barbecue sauce, sea salt, egg, and bread crumbs.
  2. Mix with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can result in tough burgers.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Alternatively, grill for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the burgers cook, halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl.
  6. Add lime juice and a pinch of sea salt to the avocado. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  7. Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
  8. Place a cooked burger patty on top of the avocado. Add a slice of tomato and red onion.
  9. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Kinda Sorta Tex-Mex Burger!
