Chili Lime Chicken Burgers

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. I mixed it together that morning and let it 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 the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.

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.

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

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