Instructions
- 1Combine the ground beef, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, diced onion, cilantro, jalapeño, red pepper flakes, cumin, paprika, and salt in a large bowl. Mix with your hands for about 1 minute until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and firmly shape each into a 1-inch-thick patty.
- 2Prepare the guacamole: cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until half smooth and creamy, then fold in the lime juice, diced onion, minced jalapeño, and cilantro. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- 3Prepare the pico de gallo: combine the diced tomato, diced onion, and cilantro in a small bowl. Drizzle with lime juice, season with salt to taste, and set aside.
- 4Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface. When the pan is hot, place the beef patties in the skillet and sear for 5–6 minutes on the first side until a brown crust forms.
- 5Flip the burgers and cook for another 5–6 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and no pink remains in the center.
- 6Top each patty with the shredded cheddar cheese in the last 1–2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt fully over the hot beef.
- 7Toast the bread rolls over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden and warmed through.
- 8Assemble the burgers: place each patty on a toasted roll and top with guacamole and pico de gallo. Divide evenly into 4 serving portions and serve immediately.
