Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 serrano pepper, stem removed
  • 1/2 whole yellow onion
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use the light kind- works great)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce (I like Cholula in this)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons oil (olive oil, if pan-frying)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 bread buns (hamburger buns, sliced)
  • 1 avocado (pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced)
  • Pico de gallo
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Put the first 10 ingredients (cumin through onion) in a food processor and puree. Add half of the ground beef, and pulse to combine everything well.

  • Step 2: Put the rest of the ground beef and one tablespoon of cilantro in a large bowl. Add the beef-spice mixture and stir to combine well. Form this mixture into four burger patties.

  • Step 3: Mix the remaining cilantro with mayo, hot sauce, and lime juice. Add salt & pepper if desired- I usually don't. Set aside.

  • Step 4: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties, flipping once, for about 12-15 minutes, or until desired doneness.

  • Step 5: Just before the meat is done, melt butter in a separate pan, then crack the eggs into it and cook until whites are firm and yolks are runny, about 3-5 minutes.

  • Step 6: Spread the mayo on both inner sides of the buns, then place down avocado slices, meat, fried egg, and pico de gallo. Serve!
