Description

Juicy seasoned beef patties, sizzling fajita vegetables, creamy fresh guacamole, and melted pepper jack cheese come together to create a bold and flavorful Easy Fajita Burger with Fresh Guacamole that delivers a satisfying and vibrant meal.


Ingredients

Two ripe avocados

Three tablespoons Daisy Sour Cream or Tillamook Sour Cream

One tablespoon lime juice

Several dashes Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce or Crystal Hot Sauce

Two tablespoons Crystal Worcestershire Sauce

Salt and pepper

Half cup chopped fresh cilantro

Two tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for brushing the grill

Two bell peppers thinly sliced

One onion thinly sliced

One jalapeno seeded and thinly sliced

One tablespoon plus one teaspoon chile powder

One and a half pounds ground beef chuck

Four slices Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese

Four burger buns such as Dave’s Killer Bread Burger Buns, Angelic Bakehouse Buns, or Arnold Hamburger Buns


Instructions

Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat and lightly oil the grates so the patties cook evenly and do not stick.

Mash the avocados with sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, Crystal Worcestershire Sauce, salt, and pepper until creamy, then fold in chopped cilantro and set aside.

Combine bell peppers, onion, jalapeno, vegetable oil, chile powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and toss until fully coated.

Mix the ground beef with chile powder, Crystal Worcestershire Sauce, salt, and pepper, then shape into four patties without overworking the meat.

Place the vegetables in a grill basket over direct heat, tossing often until tender and lightly charred.

Move vegetables to indirect heat and grill the patties over direct heat until marked, then flip and add a slice of Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese to each one.

Warm the burger buns until soft and lightly toasted.

Spread the fresh guacamole generously on both bun halves, place a cheesy patty on each, then top with the sizzling fajita vegetables and close the burger.

Notes

The 80/20 beef blend gives the burgers the best balance of flavor and juiciness.

Guacamole is best made fresh, but extra lime juice helps maintain its color when stored briefly.

For milder heat, remove all jalapeno seeds before slicing.

Vegetables can be prepped ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
