Ingredients

• 1 Whole avocado, peeled
• 0.5 Cups fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) reduced-fat sour cream
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) chili powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 1 Pound (lb) ground chicken breast
• 1 4 Ounces (oz) can green chile peppers, drained
• 1 Whole fresh jalapeño pepper, minced
• 3 Whole green onions, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dried oregano
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 Slices Cheddar cheese
• 4 Whole hamburger buns, divided
• 1 Cup lettuce, shredded
• 0.33 Cups salsa
• 1 Large lime, juiced

Steps

1. Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a food processor, combine the avocado, cilantro, sour cream, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add lime juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Make the Chicken Patties: In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, canned green chiles, minced jalapeño, minced green onions, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
3. Preheat the Grill: Set your outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Patties: Place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Move the patties to a cooler part of the grill, top each with a slice of Cheddar cheese, and allow the cheese to melt.
5. Toast the Buns: While the cheese is melting, lightly grill the hamburger buns until they are golden brown.
6. Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Add 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce, place a grilled chicken patty on top, and spoon 1 tablespoon of salsa over the patty. Finish with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the burgers immediately, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or a refreshing salad. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
