I came up with these Mexican chicken burgers because my husband and I are trying to add more variety to our diets, and cut back on red meat — and they are delish! I used my George Foreman grill to cook them. I served them with the spicy baked sweet potato fries found on Allrecipes. They make a nice substitution for a regular cheeseburger and fries.

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
½ small onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ (1 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
4 wheat hamburger buns, toasted
4 slices pepperjack cheese
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
¼ cup chopped jalapeno pepper
½ cup salsa, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate, and position it about 4 inches from the heat source.
Mix ground chicken, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and egg together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide chicken mixture evenly and form into 4 soft patties.
Cook chicken patties on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. To serve, place each patty on one half of a hamburger bun, top with a slice of cheese, avocado slices, and desired amounts of jalapeño peppers and salsa. Cover with remaining half of bun.
