1
Mix the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into an 8 oz patty, making a slight indent in the center with your thumb to help cook evenly.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

4
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty to melt.
5
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, place the brioche buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are lightly toasted.
6
Build the Burger
Spread a generous amount of guacamole on the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a scoop of pico de gallo and a handful of lettuce. Finish with the top half of the bun.
