Burguesa de Mole is a delightful fusion of traditional Mexican flavors and a high-protein twist, featuring juicy chicken patties smothered in rich mole sauce. This burger is served on a whole-grain bun with fresh toppings, making it both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 400 grams
• Mole sauce - 100 grams
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 4
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, and half of the mole sauce. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
