Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil (use a high-smoke point oil such as avocado or coconut)
- 2 burger patties (we love turkey burgers or Impossible burger)
- 2 tiny avocados (or 1 regular avocado), halved, pit removed
- 2 cheese slices (optional) I prefer pepper Jack or cheddar
- 2 hamburger buns
Extra toppings:
- Sliced red onion, sliced tomatoes, lettuce (or shredded cabbage/dry coleslaw mix), mustard, ketchup, hot sauce
Instructions
- Add oil to cast iron pan, or brush grill pan with oil. Place pan on a hot campfire grate.Add the burger patties to the pan. Add the avocado halves cut-side down.
- Cook avocados about 5 minutes total, or until the fleshy side begins to blacken. (The campfire may cook unevenly, so it’s likely that not all of the avocados will be ready at the same time.)
- Cook the burgers until the bottoms begin to brown and crisp. Flip the burgers and cook to desired doneness, If using, top with cheese as the burgers finish cooking.Remove from pan when done cooking.
- Add burger buns cut-side down to the pan (using the space where the avocados were), and cook 1-2 minutes until toasted. Alternatively, place buns on a clean campfire grate over indirect heat until toasted.
- Scoop the cooked avocado from the skin.Add to the toasted buns and mash avocado with a fork.Add the burger and desired toppings.Serve immediately.

Notes
- Recipe is easily multiplied, but you may need a second pan (or work in batches).
