How to Make The Kitchen Tourists Best Tex Mex Burger

  1. Halve, pit, and peel 2 ripe avocados.
  2. Mash 1 avocado with a fork. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, and salt to taste.
  3. Mash with the back of a fork until smooth.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and the remaining avocado, cut into 1-inch cubes. Fold gently but thoroughly.
  5. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  6. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into 1 pound ground beef.
  7. Gently form the beef mixture into four 1/4-pound patties.
  8. Heat a well-seasoned, ridged cast-iron pan over moderately-high heat. Cook the hamburgers for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for desired doneness).
  9. Top each patty with 1 ounce Monterey Jack cheese slices and cook, covered, for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
  10. Transfer the burgers to a plate and let stand, tented loosely with foil, for 3 minutes to finish cooking.
  11. Place the cooked patties on hamburger buns.
  12. Top with the prepared guacamole dressing, several sliced pickled jalapeño rings (from recipe #170474), and lettuce.
