Smokey Mexi-Style Burger

Serves: 4
Prep: 10
Cook: 15

Ingredients

  • 1 packet Vegie Delights™ Smokey BBQ Burgers
  • 4 slices reduced-fat cheese of choice (100g)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 large lettuce leaves, or mixed greens
  • 4 wholegrain burger buns
  • Quick-pickled red onion
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 tsp raw sugar
  • 1 tsp flaky salt

Guacamole

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp dried chilli, optional
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  1. To make the pickled red onion, combine apple cider vinegar, boiling water, sugar, and salt in a heat proof bowl or container. Add sliced onion and mix well. Set aside, stirring once or twice while preparing other ingredients, until onions have softened.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash avocado with lime juice and chilli, season to taste with pepper.
  3. Preheat a BBQ grill or grill pan to medium. Brush or spray burgers with a bit of oil, and cook 5 - 6 minutes per side, or until golden and heated through.
  4. Place cheese slices over burgers toward the end of the cooking time – closing BBQ or placing a lid over the pan for a minute or two, to melt the cheese.
  5. Layer bottom burger buns with lettuce, tomato, Vegie Delights Smokey BBQ Burgers, and pickled onion. Spread guacamole onto the cut-side of the top buns. Serve warm.
