California Beef Burger

This beef burger recipe is flavoured with Mexican seasonings, topped with crunchy marinated onion and a tangy guacamole and tucked into flour tortilla instead of a bun.

small red onion, cut into thin slices

¼ cup(s) (50 mL)

vinaigrette-style salad dressing

1 ¼ lb (625 g)

Lean Ground Beef Chuck*

¼ cup(s) (50 mL)

fine bread crumbs

egg, lightly beaten

pkg (35 g) taco seasoning mix

ripe avocados

2 tbsp (30 mL)

lemon OR lime juice

1 tbsp (15 mL)

chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce

4-6 flour tortillas

4 - 6 lettuce leaves

In resealable freezer bag, combine onion slices with dressing; squeeze out air, seal bag and marinate at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg and taco seasoning; mix lightly but thoroughly. Gently form into four to six 3/4-inch (2.5 cm) thick patties. Place on oiled grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads at least 160°F (71°C).

Meanwhile, in small bowl, peel and mash avocados. Stir in lemon juice and cilantro (if using); season with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce to taste. To serve, place each burger onto a lightly grilled tortilla, top with some of the mashed avocado, marinated onion slices and lettuce.
