Ingredients:
1/4 cup lime juice, plus
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
2 dashes cumin
2 dashes garlic powder
4 lean frozen beef burger patties, thawed
2 bunches green onions, trimmed to about 3-4-inch long
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup thick salsa ( I used Pace Chipotle Thick & Chunky Salsa)
1 avocados, peeled and thinly sliced
4 buns
Directions:
Combine 1/4 c lime juice, 1/4 c olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder in a large ziplock bag. Add beef patties in a single layer and lay flat to marinade. Marinade 1-2 hours, turning to marinade both sides evenly.
Combine 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder in a small ziplock bag. Add green onions; marinade 1-2 hours, shaking now and then.
Combine salsa and mayonnaise and mix well; refrigerate sauce until needed.
Grill beef patties over gas or coals until cooked to desired doneness (about 12-15 minutes for 1/2 inch patties over hot coals for medium-well).
Grill green onions for a couple of minutes, until cooked and just charred around the edges. Toast buns if desired.
Assemble burgers by spreading salsa sauce on buns, topping with beef patties, grilled green onions, and avocado slices.
