Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Chop your cherry tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and dice the avocado.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until no pink remains, about 7-10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and any additional spices like garlic powder or paprika. Adjust to taste.

Assembly

  • In serving bowls, layer shredded lettuce as the base, followed by the cooked beef. Top with cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, pickles, and slices of avocado.
  • Generously slather on the burger sauce, and for an extra touch, sprinkle on some extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Consider adding crispy bacon bits on top for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated easily. You can customize the recipe with different proteins or vegetables.
