Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
• 0.25 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
• 2 ripe avocados
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 4 hamburger buns
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 cheddar cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overmix.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. While the grill heats, prepare the salsas.

Step 4

For the classic tomato salsa, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in a small bowl. Stir to mix and set aside.

Step 5

For the creamy avocado salsa, halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash until mostly smooth. Stir in sour cream, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 6

Butter the insides of the hamburger buns lightly and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

Cook the beef patties on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to let it melt.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a beef patty, a spoonful of tomato salsa, and a dollop of avocado salsa.

Step 9

Close the burgers with the top halves of the buns and serve immediately.
