Recipe



Burger:
Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In a medium bowl, combine ground meat and taco seasoning mix. Shape mixture into six patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Cover and grill patties 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 14 to 16 minutes, turning once, until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees for ground beef, or 165 degrees for ground chicken and turkey.
Top each burger with cheese slice for the last two minutes of grilling. Place burgers on bottoms of buns; top with guacamole, salsa and tops of buns. Serves six.

guacamole:
Halve and pit avocado. Scoop avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in lime juice, tomato, cilantro, onion, garlic and jalapeno chili. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serves six.
