Ingredients

• Ground venison - 400 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Form the mixture into 2 equal patties, about 2.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, slice the bolillo rolls in half and toast them lightly on a separate pan or under a broiler.

6. Top each patty with sliced avocado, tomato, red onion, and a generous spoonful of salsa.
7. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and squeeze fresh lime juice before placing the top half of the bolillo on the burger.
