Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for chicken or 160°F (71°C) for beef.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

Making the Guacamole

  1. 5

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

  2. 6

    Mash the Avocados

    Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth or chunky based on your preference.

  3. 7

    Season the Guacamole

    Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix until combined.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Prepare the Buns

    Cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato, the cooked burger patty with melted Swiss cheese, a generous scoop of guacamole, and two slices of bacon. Top with the other half of the bun.
