Avocado Smash Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    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. Form into 4 equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until your desired doneness is reached. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Avocado Smash Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Avocado Smash

    While the patties are cooking, cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork until desired creaminess is reached. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Build Your Burger

    Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, start assembling your burger. Place a leafy green on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked beef patty. Top each patty generously with the avocado smash. If desired, add sliced tomatoes, jalapeños, or any other toppings you prefer. Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger.

  2. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the Avocado Smash Burgers immediately, enjoying them without fries or ketchup for a fresh and delicious meal.
