Cilantro Chicken Burgers With Avocado Food

CHICKEN -CHORIZO BURGERS WITH AVOCADO MAYO

Steps:

• INSTRUCTIONS Prepare grill or broiler.
• To prepare mayonnaise, combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until combined.
• Cover and chill mayonnaise mixture.
• To prepare burgers, remove casings from sausage.
• Place sausage, salt, tortillas, chicken, and jalapeno in food processor; process 30 seconds or until mixture is coarsely ground.
• Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
• Place patties on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 7 minutes on each side or until done.
• Cut rolls in half horizontally; spread 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture over top half of each roll.
• Place tomato slices on bottom halves of rolls; top each with 1 patty and top half of each roll.

SMASHED AVOCADO-CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small serving bowl, combine the mayonnaise and soy sauce. Season with the juice of 1 lime wedge and salt as needed.
• In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash and thoroughly combine the chopped cilantro, mashed avocado, scallions, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the soy-lime mayonnaise. Add the chicken and gently combine. Form into 4 large balls.
• Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat until very hot, 1½ to 2 minutes. Add the neutral oil or ghee, then add the chicken meatballs, spacing them out in the pan. Use a metal spatula to press them until they form ½-inch-thick patties. Cook without moving for 3½ to 4 minutes, until a deep golden crust has formed and they easily release from the pan. Flip the patties using the spatula and cook until done with a nice crust on the other side, about 3 minutes more. If the patties need more time, cover the pan and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid scorching.
• Squeeze a lime wedge over the patties and serve sandwiched between the buns topped with lettuce, a healthy slathering of the lime-mayonnaise, avocado slices, jalapeño slices if using, and cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and mayonnaise on the side.
