Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the ground beef with the onion, bell pepper and garlic in a bowl. Add plenty of salt and pepper. Mix well, then divide the mixture into four portions.
Step 2
Carefully shape each portion into a patty, using dampened hands or a burger press. Cover with a cloth and set aside while you make the guacamole.
Step 3
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork, then mix in the garlic, tomatoes, lime juice, chili and cilantro. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 4
Cover the surface of the guacamole with plastic wrap, leaving no air between plastic wrap and guacamole.
Step 5
Brush the burgers lightly with oil.
Step 6
Grill on a medium-hot barbecue for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn the burgers once during cooking.
Step 7
Just before serving, heat the tortillas on the barbecue for about 15 seconds on each side.
Step 8
Place a spoonful of guacamole and a burger on each tortilla, then fold the tortilla over.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve plain or with lettuce.
