Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 250 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two patties, ensuring they are evenly shaped.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the avocado crema by mashing the avocado in a bowl. Mix in Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt to taste until smooth.
5. Toast the burger buns in the same skillet until lightly golden.
