Guacamole Ranch Burgers

guacamole
With grilling season right around the corner my family will begin requesting these any day now.  These burgers are the only thing First Born can cook, God love her.
Avocado’s are a gift from God, a perfect fruit.  I love to eat them with just a little salt and pepper but my family insists that I make Guacamole and this is what I do.
La Reina’s (the queen’s) Guacamole
  • 3 avocados
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • dash of Worcestershire sauce (secret ingredient)
  • dash of Tabasco
  • salt and pepper
  • a few shakes of  fajita seasoning (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Mix together leaving avocado slightly chunky.  Please don’t pulverize the avocados.  What did they ever do to you?
Now for the burgers.
Ranch Burgers
  • 2 lbs ground chuck
  • 2 packages Hidden Valley Ranch Mix
  • pepper jack cheese
That’s it.  Mix the ground chuck and ranch mix together.  Grill until Medium Well and top with Pepper Jack cheese and guacamole and whatever else you like on your burger.  Whatever you do, please don’t put sprouts on your burger (unless you are from California).  Sprouts on a burger or anything else is just wrong.  Sprouts should not be digested…I throw things away that are sprouting.  The thought of a sprout makes me shudder and gag.  Really.  I’m weird like that.
Enjoy your burger with some chips and Ranch Style beans.  Wash it down with a  Texas Tea, Jack and Coke or maybe a Margarita.
