Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    Form the ground beef into a 7 oz patty. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly until they turn golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Rajas

    Grill or sauté sliced bell peppers and onions until softened and slightly charred. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Street Corn Salsa

    Mix together cooked corn, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the brioche bun, spread avocado mash. Place the grilled patty on top, followed by caramelized onions, rajas, a slice of cheddar cheese, arugula, and a generous spoonful of street corn salsa. Drizzle with lime crema and top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burger immediately with your choice of sides.
