Ingredients
For the Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or mayo if you want it extra rich)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Burgers
- 2 beef patties (plant-based patties work great too)
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- 2 slices of cheese (optional, but Tim loves cheddar)
- 2 burger buns
- Crisp lettuce leaves
- Thick tomato slices
- Red onion slices
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Spread: Scoop the avocado into a small bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mash it with a fork. Leave a few small chunks for a nice texture.
- Cook the Meat: Put salt and pepper on both sides of your patties. Cook them in a hot pan or on the grill until they are done. Add cheese during the last minute so it melts.
- Toast the Buns: Put your buns face down in the pan for just a minute. You want them nice and golden brown.
- Layer It Up: Spread a very thick layer of the avocado mixture on the bottom bun. Do not be shy with it!
- Assemble: Place your juicy patty on top of the green spread. Add your lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Put the top bun on and enjoy every bite!
Notes
- Spread Hack: If making ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the spread to prevent browning.
- Bun Secret: Always toast buns to prevent sogginess.
- Customizing: Swap yogurt for mayo if preferred, or add hot sauce for a spicy kick.
