Report
Guacamole-Stuffed Fajita Burgers make the PERFECT entree for Cinco de Mayo and summer parties! This burger combines guacamole goodness, beefy deliciousness and fajita veggies on a bun. First, make guacamole using avocados, taco seasoning and fresh lime juice. Instead of forming a normal patty, make two smaller ones. Dollop guacamole on one, then top with the other and seal tightly. Pan fry or grill and serve. These burgers are a guaranteed hit!

Ingredients
Guacamole
- 3 avocados
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Fajita Veggies
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 yellow onions sliced thin
- 1 red onion sliced thin
- 1 green bell pepper sliced thin
Burgers
- 1 lb. 85/20 ground beef
- 1 ½ teaspoons taco seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 ½ tablespoons guacamole
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 whole wheat buns
- guacamole for garnish
Instructions
Make the Guacamole
- Using the Casabella 4 'n 1 Avocado Tool, open the avocados, remove the seeds and place in a glass bowl.
- Juice the lime over the avocados, then mash using the tool.
- Add the taco seasoning and kosher salt, mashing until the mixture is more smooth.
- When the guacamole is at its desired consistency, transfer to the Casabella’s Guac-Lock, and seal the lid. Set aside.
Cook the Fajita Veggies
- Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the onions and green bell pepper into thin slivers.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over high heat.
- When the oil is shimmering, add the onions and pepper.
- Saute for 10-15 minutes, or until the onions and pepper have browned and are softened and flavorful.
- Remove from the heat, and transfer to a bowl.
Make and Cook the Burgers
- As the veggies cook, form the burgers.
- Place the ground beef in a glass bowl, using your fingers to mix in the taco seasoning and salt.
- When the seasonings are mixed into the burger meat, divide the meat into three even rounds.
- Half each round of meat. Using your hands and fingers, flatten and shape the meat into six patties. Each burger will have a top half and a bottom half, so you will have a total of SIX patties, even though this only makes three burgers.
- Dollop 1 ½ tablespoons of guacamole onto the middle of THREE burger patties.
- Carefully, place another burger patty on top of the one with guacamole, pinching and sealing the meat together on the edges and working lightly so the guacamole does not spill.
- Repeat this process and seal the other two burgers.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat, and add coconut oil. You may use the same skillet you used to cook the veggies.
- When the coconut oil has melted, sprinkle the burgers with additional taco seasoning and place in the pan.
- Sear on the first side for 4-5 minutes, or until very browned, then flip the burgers and sear for another 4-5 minutes.
- While the burgers cook, begin preparing the buns. Smear guacamole on the top and bottom of the toasted bun, and add a layer of fajita veggies on the bottom half.
- When the burgers are done, remove from the heat, and place on top of the bottom bun. Top with additional fajita veggies and the top bun.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- In this recipe, I used my homemade taco seasoning. It's super easy to make, no sugar added and has very little salt added.
