Avocado Salsa topped Cheese Burgers

I dont really have a story for this recipe, it just came to mind one night. As we all know avocados and hamburgers just go together. This meal also pairs nicely with raspberry lemonade.

You will need:

1 lb of ground beef (or ground turkey)

Salt & Pepper

Garlic powder

Sliced cheddar cheese

2 large avocados

Juice of 1/2 a lime

 1/4 Green onion, chopped

Cherry tomatoes, quartered

Cilantro, minced (too taste I dont like a lot but my boyfriend loves it)

Jalapeno, diced

Note: My boyfriend does not like peppers so I left out the jalapeno and added a 1/4 tsp of ground cayenne pepper. It gave it a kick but without the pepper taste.

Make 2-4 patties out of the ground beef (This depends on how many people are eating or how big your appetite is etc.)

Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (I do this by taste)

Fry over medium heat for 5-6 mins per side, flipping only once and try not to continually smash the burgers down, you want them to stay juicy!

Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow to melt.

Top with the avocado salsa and serve either on a bun or on a plate of lettuce like the picture above.

To make the avocado salsa you will want to dice the avocado into bite size pieces and put into a small bowl, add the lime juice, tomatoes, green onion, cilantro, and jalapenos. Mix together gently. It will look like a chunky guacamole.
