Directions
- Combine the beef, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Using your hands, mix well. Form into 6 patties. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
- Make the guacamole. Add the avocado, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to the molcajete or bowl. Mash the avocados and spices together into a paste or until you've reached your desired consistency. Add the jalapeno, tomato, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and red onion. With a large spoon, fold the ingredients gently together until combined. Taste the guacamole and add freshly ground salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add the radishes for a beautiful presentation.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. The coals should be hot.
- Grill the burgers for about 5 minutes. Turn and grill for 4 or 5 minutes longer for medium-well burgers. Serve with Guacamole, if desired.
Recipe Note
Tips:
Try slicing the halved avocado lengthwise and crosswise while still in the skin, then with a large spoon, run the spoon close to the skin edges to get nice chunks of avocado.
Serving Suggestions:
Tomatoes add a nice pop of color, juiciness, and sweetness to guacamole. Thinly matchstick radishes make for a nice garnish. Blog post: https://www.lobels.com/guacamole-burger-1000387
