instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, jalapeño, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Split the mixture in four and form four patties. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together avocado and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Once the grill is hot, cook patties to desired temperature, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese and close lid until cheese melts.
- Divide the mashed avocado between the bottom halves of the four buns. Place the cooked patties on top of the mashed avocado.
- Top the burgers with salsa and fried onions. Finish with the top halves of the buns. Serve immediately.
