Instructions

- Heat a large cast iron skillet to a medium heat. Add oil. When the pan is hot, add chicken burgers. Cook until seared and golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Evenly divide the cheese between the four patties. Add one tablespoon of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Steam the burgers until the cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.

- When the patties are done cooking, use a spatual to place on bottom bun. Evenly divide smashed avocado on top. Follow up with the salsa and then cover in crushed tortilla chips. Cover with the top part of the bun. Serve!
