Chicken Cheddar and Guacamole Burgers

Looks and tastes great. With the price of beef nowadays I needed a healthier and a little cheaper way to get my burger fix. You could use ground turkey instead of chicken, I would think. And toasting the buns adds another layer of flavor.

INGRIDIENT

1 ½ pounds ground chicken

½ cup minced yellow onion

⅓ cup minced fresh cilantro

⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

½ lime, juiced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

4 slices Cheddar cheese

4 hamburger buns, split and toasted

¼ cup guacamole, or to taste

4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step: 2

Mix ground chicken, 1/3 cup cilantro, Cheddar cheese, garlic, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; shape into 4 patties.

Step: 3

Cook patties on grill until the bottom is browned, 3 to 4 minutes; flip the burgers and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer burgers to a plate to rest until juices are reabsorbed into the meat, about 3 minutes.

Step: 4

Put burgers onto split buns and top with guacamole and cilantro.
