30 minThese guacamole burgers bring the bold, bright flavors of a Mexican cookout straight to your backyard grill.
You make a quick from-scratch guacamole with ripe avocado, fresh tomato, garlic, chili powder, and a squeeze of lemon, then pile it high on a charred beef patty nestled inside a toasted English muffin. The creamy avocado melts right into the hot burger, and that kick of red pepper flakes lingers just enough to keep you reaching for another bite.
Served with crunchy corn chips and extra guacamole on the side, this is summer grilling at its most satisfying.
Pro Tips
- Use avocados that give slightly when pressed. Too firm and you won’t get that buttery, spreadable texture.
- Shape your patties a little wider than the muffins since they shrink on the grill.
- Toast the English muffins cut-side down on the grill for about 30 seconds to get a sturdy, crispy base that holds up under the guacamole.
- For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the guac.
Variations
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or a black bean patty for a lighter take on guacamole burgers.
- Add a slice of pepper jack cheese right before pulling the patties off the grill.
- Use brioche buns instead of English muffins for a richer, softer bite.
