Cilantro Lime Burger

The Cilantro Lime Burger is a zesty and refreshing twist on the classic American burger, featuring a juicy patty infused with cilantro and lime, served on gluten-free buns. This vibrant dish is perfect for summer barbecues or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 500g ground beef (80% lean)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced and zested
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 gluten-free burger buns
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1 small tomato, sliced
• Lettuce leaves, for serving

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free buns on the grill or in a toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, then top with avocado slices, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
