Avocado Burger

The Avocado Burger is a delicious and refreshing low-carb twist on the classic burger, featuring juicy beef patties topped with creamy avocado and zesty Mexican flavors. Perfectly satisfying and nutritious, this dish brings together the best of both worlds - indulgence and health.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300g
• Avocado - 1 large, ripe
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Garlic powder - 1 tsp
• Cumin - 1/2 tsp
• Salt - 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper - 1/4 tsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large for wraps
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Jalapeño - 1 small, sliced (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the avocado topping by mashing the avocado in a bowl. Add lime juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
5. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
6. To assemble the burgers, place each beef patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with the avocado mixture, tomato slices, and jalapeño if using. Wrap the lettuce around the filling and secure with a toothpick if needed.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Mexican Avocado Burger!
