    Guacamole + ground beef makes a fun, nutritious alternative to your typical burger that's full of vitamins, minerals, and flavor

    Disclosure: I received free samples of California Avocado mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by California Avocado and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

    Guacamole Burgers from Living Well Kitchen

    Avocados are a staple in my kitchen. They make everything better. You can literally use them whenever. Plus, they are super healthy and nutrient dense {lots of nutrients in just a small amount}.

    Their peak season is between March and September, so you've got another month or so to pack the nutrition all-star into your meals, snacks, etc.

    I am participating in a Recipe ReDux "Cooking with California Avocados" contest.

    Honestly, I was a little bummed because I have already come up with so many avocado recipes that I loooove, like...

    • Avocado Pudding - you'll never have a clue there's avocado in there! Chocolately & decadent
    • Avocado Cilantro Dressing - will make you want to eat salad every single day; plus, it's vegan & allergy-free
    • Avocado Chicken Salad - mayo free chicken salad that's high in protein
    • Spinach & Avocado Hummus - the most addicting, delicious hummus ever
    • Shrimp Tacos - the easiest, best summertime meal; one of my top 10 favorite meals to make
    • Mexican Chicken Salsa Salad - it's like salsa but it's a salad and fresh & perfect for summer
    • Tomatillo Guacamole - roasted tomatillos & jalapeño add great flavor to this tasty appetizer/dip
    • Avocado Pasta - no cook, vegan dinner

    There are also lots of things that are improved when topped with avocado like Vegetarian Breakfast Enchiladas, Black Bean & Kale Tacos, Mexican Quinoa Salad, Beef Carnitas Tacos, and Mexican Stir-Fry

    But today, for my entry into the Cooking with California Avocados, I decided to make some Guacamole Burgers.

    I basically just made some guacamole then mixed it with some lean ground beef, then grilled or broiled them until done.

    Then I served 'em on a bun and topped with some salsa and even more avocado. So so so amazing.

    These burgers are creamy and beyond flavorful. I used 94/6 lean ground beef and you'd never know it wasn't the higher fat ground beef.

    The avocado helps keep them moist with its beneficial fat.

    Plus you definitely won't need mayo on this burger.

    You can add some salsa or maybe even a few more avocado slices, but that's really all you need condiment wise for these burgers.

    If you are looking for a fun, healthy alternative to your typical burger, then these are for you.

    I mean, they'll make anyone happy who likes a good, juicy burger no matter if they are interested in its health factor or not.

    But for those that do care about health, these burgers are high in monounsaturated fat {thanks to the avocado}, high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and have 17% Iron, 11% Magnesium, 26% Phosphorus, 20% Potassium, 41% Zinc, 10% Copper, 28% Selenium, 21% Vitamin K, 16% Riboflavin, 37% Niacin, 31% Vitamin B6, 25% Folate, 42% Vitamin B12, 16% Pantothenic Acid
