Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into rounds; 1/4 c. red wine vinegar; 2 avocados, diced; 1/2 c. freshly chopped cilantro, divided; 3 tbsp. lime juice; kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; 1 lb. ground chicken; 1 clove garlic, minced; 2 tsp. cumin; 1/4 tsp. cayenne; 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced; 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 2 oz. white cheddar, thinly sliced; 4 brioche buns, lightly toasted; 1 tomato, sliced

Step 1In small bowl, combine red onions and red wine vinegar. Let sit 15 minutes (or until burgers are ready); drain vinegar.

Step 2In a medium bowl, combine avocados, 3 tablespoons cilantro, and lime juice with a fork, mashing lightly to make a chunky mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3In another medium bowl, combine chicken, garlic, cumin, cayenne, jalapeño, and the remaining cilantro, and season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 4 patties.

Step 4Preheat a broiler to high. Brush an ovenproof nonstick skillet with olive oil and sear patties until golden and cooked through, 3 minutes per side. Place 1 or 2 slices of cheddar on each burger and place under broiler until cheese is melted, 1 minute.

Step 5Serve on brioche buns with tomato, guacamole, and pickled red onions.
