Mexican-Style Burger

The soul of Mexican cuisine is the meeting of freshness and fire. In this burger, the cooling effect of creamy avocado (guacamole base) soothes the heat of the jalapeño and salsa. This is not just an explosion of flavour, but a play of textures: the perfect unity of soft cream, crisp vegetable, and juicy meat.

Instructions

1

Prepare the avocado cream: scoop out the flesh, mash with a fork (keep it chunky), mix in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped coriander.

Tip: The chunky texture is more rustic and enjoyable than a smooth purée.
2

Slice the jalapeño (rubber gloves recommended!).

Tip: Most of the heat is in the seeds and ribs. If you want it milder, remove these.
3

Season the patties with salt and pepper, fry for 3-4 minutes per side. Melt the cheddar on top in the last minute.

Tip: The fat in the cheese helps to 'dampen' the power of the capsaicin (heat) in your mouth.
4

Toast the buns.

Tip: Toasting is important because both the salsa and avocado are moist; the crisp layer protects the bread.
5

Layer: salsa on the bun, lettuce, meat with cheese, generous avocado cream, jalapeño, tomato, onion.

Tip: Spread the avocado cream on the meat or the top bun; it also acts as 'glue' for the vegetables.

Recipe FAQ

How do I keep the avocado from browning?
Drizzle immediately with lime or lemon juice. Ascorbic acid slows down oxidation. If possible, prepare directly before serving.
