Ingredients
Preparation
-
Step 1
In a small bowl blend sour cream and salsa. Set aside.
-
Step 2
Preheat gas or charcoal grill to 400°F. The fire should be quite hot; you should barely be able to hold your hand 3-4 inches over the grates. After the coals are gray, spray grates with cooking spray or brush with oil to help keep burgers from sticking. In a large bowl combine Ground Beef, chilies, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix lightly and thoroughly. Lightly shape into eight ¾-inch thick patties.
-
Step 3
Grill patties in center of grid, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium-heat on preheated gas grill 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Season burgers with salt and pepper, as desired.
-
Step 4
Place burgers on lettuce leaves. Top evenly with avocado slices. Drizzle sour cream mixture and top with pico de gallo.
