Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2
• Ripe avocado - 1
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Tomato - 1, diced
• Red onion - 1/4, finely chopped
• Jalapeño pepper - 1, sliced (optional)
• Lettuce leaves - 2

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until just combined, then form into 2 equal patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
3. While the patties are cooking, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocado in a bowl. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt.
4. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
5. Toast the gluten-free burger buns lightly in the same skillet if desired.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun, topping with a generous scoop of guacamole, diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño slices, and lettuce leaves.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
