recipe instruction

1. In a mixing bowl combine your ground beef, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix together until completely combined. Form into 12 equal patties.

2. Preheat your grill. Once your grill is hot enough place your burger patties on the grill and let cook for 7 minutes. Do not touch, press or move around. After the first 7 minutes, flip and let finish cooking another 3-5 minutes, or until your desired doneness.

4. While your burgers are cooking you can prepare your buns. Slice each bun in half and smear with a healthy amount of avocado cream cheese.

5. Once your burgers are finished cooking place on top of your avocado-ed buns and add a spoonful of Uncle Nate’s Pico de Gallo.

6. Serve and enjoy!

cooking tips

• I like to use buttery sandwich rolls for my burgers instead of a traditional bun. It ups your gme in its presentation and also ads just the right sweet taste.
• You can make the pico de gallo in advance and let the flavors all marinate together, but do not make your avocado cream cheese until a little bit before you use it because you don’t want to cream cheese to turn brown.
• When you buy ground beef, I like to look for lean ground beef.
