Ingredients

• Ground beef (Halal) - 250 grams
• Huitlacoche (canned or fresh) - 100 grams
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, huitlacoche, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a burger patty, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down in the skillet to toast lightly.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, avocado slices, and tomato slices. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, then add the other half of the bun.
