Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20, grass-fed if possible)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Whole30-approved, e.g., Primal Kitchen)
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine)
  • Pickles, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, pressing a small dimple in the center of each.
  3. Prepare the avocado chipotle aioli by blending avocado, mayonnaise, minced chipotle pepper, lime juice, sea salt, and garlic until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Slice tomato and red onion thinly. Rinse and dry lettuce leaves. Arrange pickles if using.
  5. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness (internal temp ~160°F).
  6. Assemble burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the plate, topping with a cooked patty, spreading a generous spoonful of aioli, then adding tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with another lettuce leaf or serve open-faced.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and juicy.

Notes

Do not overwork the meat to keep patties juicy. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Start with less chipotle pepper and adjust for heat preference. Let burgers rest a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices. Aioli can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
