Guacamole Burgers

Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 15 Min

Yields: 2 Burgers

Consider the fact that your guac will probably go brown in the fridge. You'll have enough guac to probably do 4 burgers if you'd like to double the recipe. Guacamole will only last about a day in the fridge once opened. I've tried everything but it always goes brown. Perhaps chips and guac for a snack later or even served on the side to use it all up!

Preheat a grill pan to just below medium heat. Drizzle the open parts of your buns and get them on the grill to toast up. Once finished, transfer them to your cutting board and add your burgers to the grill, seasoning them with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Grill until browned with nice grill marks, 3 - 4 minutes, flip, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue on the other side. Once they're perfectly cooked, add some sliced Monterey Jack on top of each patty. Find a lid that will cover the pan and add a tablespoon or two of water to the inside of the lid. Flip it over to cover the grill pan and let the cheese steam until melty.
Place some fresh lettuce on the bottom of each burger followed by your cheesy burger patty. Lay some sliced onions on your burger. Smear a generous amount of your prepared guacamole on the top of each bun along with some sliced jalapenos. Spoon some spicy salsa over your burgers, close them up, and serve. ENJOY!
