Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 large avocado
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato
• 0.5 red onion
• 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 4 hamburger buns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty, making them slightly larger than the buns.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.

Step 4

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is reached. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add mayonnaise and lime juice, and mash together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 6

Slice the tomato and red onion into thin, even slices.

Step 7

Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cheese-topped patty, a few rings of red onion, and finish with the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful California burgers!
