Ingredients:

• 700 grams of lean minced beef
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1 avocado
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 whole wheat hamburger buns
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 30 grams reduced-fat grated cheddar or other reduced-fat grated cheese
• 4 thick, large tomato slices (1 to 1.5 centimeters thick)
• 4 thinly sliced red onions
• 30 grams of prosciutto

Preparation:

1. Beat the egg and mix it with the lean minced meat. Although optional, the egg helps the patty to fry more evenly and better and adds an extra 6 grams of protein.
2. Form the meat into four equal-sized burger patties that are not much thicker than one centimeter. Since the meat is lean, it should cook quickly and evenly to stay juicy.
3. Mash the avocado with a pinch of salt, some red and black pepper, a dash of lime juice and some coriander until the desired consistency of avocado sauce is achieved.
4. Place the burgers in a frying pan over a medium heat and season with salt and pepper. Insider tip: Use a finger to make a dent in each burger. This will allow the patties to cook more evenly and stay flat.
5. Turn the patties once they are cooked on one side and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Add water to the pan and cover with a lid. This will create some steam to melt the cheese.
6. Place two burger patties on a hamburger bun and garnish with tomato slices and the avocado paste. Add baked prosciutto and red onions as desired.
