Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that fit your burger buns.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the salad toppings by slicing the tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
5. Once the patties are cooked, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or skillet for about 1-2 minutes.
