Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices monetary jack cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 4 pieces of torn romaine lettuce
Avocado salsa-
  • 2 hass avocados peeled, pitted and insides scooped out
  • ½ small onion diced
  • 1 minced and seeded jalapeno pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Form the ground beef into 4 patties that are no more than ¾ of an inch thick. Make a depression in the center of each patty. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl combine avocados, onion, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mash briefly with a fork until a salsa has formed.
  3. Lightly grease the grates of an outdoor grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook, turning once until fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F.). During the last minute of cooking top each burger with a slice of cheese. Cook until cheese has melted.
  4. Split the hamburger buns and place cutside down onto the grill until lightly toasted. Top the bottom half of each bun with 1 piece of romaine, 1 slice of tomato, 1 hamburger patty, avocado salsa, and the top bun.
