- 3 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped, divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons grill seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, plus juice of 2 limes
- salt
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 slices deli pepper jack cheese, quartered
- 12 mini hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup green olives with pimiento, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the beans in a small saucepan. Add water if needed to thin out a bit.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, two-thirds of the garlic, the grill seasoning, chili powder and paprika. Form the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into patties. Drizzle with olive oil; set aside.
- In a bowl, mash the avocado. Add half of the red onion, half of the jalapeno and half of the cilantro. Add in the lime zest, lime juice and the remaining garlic. Mix together and season with salt.
- In another bowl, combine the tomatoes and mustard. Add the remaining red onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Season with salt.
- In a third bowl, stir together the sour cream, hot sauce and cumin.
- Heat a grill pan or a grill over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until cooked, about 6 minutes for medium. During the last couple minutes of cooking, add 2 pieces of cheese to the top of the burgers. Tent with foil to melt if needed.
- Top the bottom of each bun with a spoonful of refried beans, a patty, lettuce, guacamole, salsa, spicy sour cream and some of the chopped olives. Top with the bun top and serve.
