Lamb Burgers With Cilantro Raita

• 1/3 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced seeded serrano chile
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 English cucumber, grated, squeezed dry
• 1/2 pound ground beef, 90% lean
• 6 ounces ground lamb
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 4 thin slices red onion
• 4 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns, toasted

1. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well.
2. Gently combine beef and lamb, being careful not to overwork. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, gently shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Press a nickel-sized indentation in the center of each patty. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add patties; cook for 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
4. Place 1/4 cup spinach, 1 onion slice, and 1 patty on bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons raita and top half of bun.
