Guacamole Burgers

• For the Guacamole
• 2 ripe avocados from Mexico, peeled, pitted, and mashed
• 1 small red, ripe tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Juice of one lime
• 1 jalapeno, stem and seeds removed, finely diced (optional)
• For the Burgers
• 2 pounds ground sirloin, formed into four patties
• 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 ounces 1-oz slices cheddar cheese
• Green leaf lettuce
• 2 ripe, red tomatoes, sliced
• 1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced

1. PREPARE THE GUACAMOLE: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the avocado, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt and jalapeno. Stir to combine and then set aside while preparing the burgers.
2. PREPARE THE BURGERS: Season each patty with steak seasoning on both sides before cooking. You can use a skillet, grill pan, or a grill over high heat to cook your burgers to desired degree of doneness. When the burgers are almost finished cooking, toast the buns in a toaster oven, a dry skillet, or on the grill.
3. Assemble the burgers by layering the bottom half of each bun with leaves of lettuce, a burger patty, a slice of cheese, slices of onion, and slices of tomato. Top with a generous scoop of guacamole, and cover with bun.
