Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, sliced
- 4 units burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined but avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Step 3
Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
Step 4
Butter the inside of each burger bun half and set them aside.
Step 5
Cook the burger patties on the preheated grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
Step 6
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
Step 7
While the patties are cooking, toast the buttered burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
To assemble the burgers, spread guacamole on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked cheeseburger patty on top.
Step 9
Top each patty with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 10
Finish by placing the top half of the bun on the assembled burger. Serve immediately and enjoy!
