Chili Lime Chicken Burgers

1. 1

   In a large bowl mix together chicken, onions, red pepper, cilantro, crushed red pepper, chili powder, half of the lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

2. 2

   I mixed it together that morning and let it sit in the fridge until dinner that night, about 8 hours.

3. 3

   You dont have to do that, it just gives the meat some time to absorb all the flavor.

4. 4

   Heat up the grill on medium heat.

5. 5

   Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash avocado with cumin and the remaining lime juice, salt and pepper to your desired guacamole consistency.

8. 8

   I leave mine a little chunky.

9. 9

   When burgers are finished, place a patty on a bun and top with guacamole.
