Chili Lime Chicken Burgers

Ingredients

Chicken Burgers

2 lbs ground chicken

¼ cup diced onion

¼ cup diced red bell pepper

¼ cup chopped cilantro

4 garlic cloves, finely diced

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp lime juice

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Buns for serving

Guacamole

2 avocados

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp lime juice

¼ tsp salt

¼ pepper

Preparation

Mix together chicken, onions, red pepper, cilantro, crushed red pepper, chili powder, lime juice, salt and pepper. I mixed together that morning and let sit in the fridge until dinner that night, about 8 hours. You don’t have to do that, it just gives the meat some time to absorb all the flavor.

Heat up the grill on Medium heat.

Form into 6 patties.

Once grill is hot, add burgers and cook about 5-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Try not to move them around so you can get some grill marks.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash avocado with cumin, lime, salt and pepper to your desired guacamole consistency. I leave mine a little chunky.

When burgers are finished, place on a bun and top with guacamole. We had this with a side of Spanish rice. So fresh and delicious!
