Guacamole Burger Recipes

GUACAMOLE CILANTRO LIME CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• To make the guacamole, mash the avocado in a medium bowl with the juice of half a lime, jalapeno, tomatoes, 1/4 cup onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic; season to taste with salt, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together beef, the juice of half a lime, 1 tablespoon garlic, chili powder, 1/2 cup diced onion, and cilantro. Form the meat into 6 patties.
• Cook the burgers to desired doneness on the preheated grill. Add a slice of cheese to each burger during the last minute of cooking. Serve on toasted buns with a dollop of guacamole.

GUACAMOLE TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• To make guacamole, sliced avocados in half, lengthwise. Remove the pit and discard. Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon into a bowl.
• Add juices, chili powder, salsa and salt and mash with a fork until nicely chunky.
• Cover with plastic and set aside. (If you want to make the guacamole an hour or so ahead of time, you can keep it fresh in its bowl in the refrigerator by pressing plastic wrap onto the surface of the guacamole so that no air reaches the avocado, which is what makes it turn brown.)
• In a bowl, combine garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and paprika until thoroughly blended.
• Brush each patty on both sides with olive and sprinkle with the seasoning blend on both sides.
• Using a skillet or grill pan, cook patties over medium-high heat, covered, about 5 to 6 minutes per side, until no pink remains. If you're adding cheese, do so for about the last 1 minute of cooking.
• Brush each bun on both sides with melted butter and warm in another skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side, just until toasty.
• Place patties on each bun bottom, top with guacamole and other desired trimmings. Serve with a little salsa on the side.

GUACAMOLE BURGER

Steps:

• Halve the avocados and scoop out the flesh, toss the skin and the pit. In a bowl, mash the avocado until it is still a bit chunky. Add the salsa, salt, minced garlic (if you are using it), and the cilantro and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. You want this to be sort of chunky, not creamy.
• Form the ground meat into four patties and grill until desired doneness.
• When the burgers are almost done, toast the English muffins on the grill or in a toaster.
• Then assemble the burgers in this order:.
• a half toasted English muffin, a burger, guacamole, onion slice, tomato slice, lettuce leaf, and muffin top.
• Pass around napkins because this can get messy.

LT GUACAMOLE BURGER

Steps:

• Heat a griddle medium hot.
• Using your hands, form the beef into a 1/4-inch-thick patty, trying not to press the patty too much or the meat becomes tough and the patty does not cook properly in the center. Brush some butter on both sides of the patty, season with salt and pepper and cook on the griddle for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the burger, place the cheese on top and continue griddling for 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare.
• Meanwhile, brush softened butter on both slices of the bun and place on the griddle until toasted.
• To assemble, place the hamburger on the bottom slice of the bun, and the lettuce, tomato and pickle on top of the hamburger. Spread the LT Guacamole on the top bun and then put the sandwich together and serve.
• Mash the ingredients together in a medium bowl.

FAJITA BURGER WITH GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of grill).
• Combine the avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and mash together with a potato masher or the back of a fork. Stir in the cilantro, cover and set aside.
• Combine the oil, bell peppers, onion, jalapeno, 1 tablespoon of the chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine; set aside.
• Combine the beef, remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture into fourths and shape into patties.
• Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Put the bell pepper mixture in an open grill basket and cook over direct heat, tossing frequently, until the peppers and onions are golden and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Move the basket over indirect heat. Put the patties over direct heat. Grill the patties until marked on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook about 2 minutes, then top each patty with 1 slice of pepper jack cheese. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the patties are marked on the other side and slightly firm, about 1 minute more for medium rare. Remove the patties and pepper mixture to a serving platter.
• Spread the guacamole on both sides of the buns and top with the patties and pepper mixture.
