Cilantro Lime Burger

The Cilantro Lime Burger is a refreshing, low-carb twist on the classic burger, infused with zesty lime and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor. Perfectly grilled and served with avocado, this dish is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 300 grams
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 30 grams
• Lime juice - 30 ml
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Avocado, sliced - 1 medium

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
