    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and slice the avocado. Prepare the pico de gallo if not already made.

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and form them into balls. Season with salt and pepper.

    Cook the Burgers

    While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or in the oven until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger
