Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 hamburger buns

• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

• Cooking oil for grilling

Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat

While the grill is heating, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy

Remove and drain on paper towels

Brush the onion rings with a little cooking oil and grill them for about 2-3 minutes per side until they have grill marks and are softened

Remove from the grill and set aside

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties

Season with salt and pepper

Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness

While the burgers are cooking, mix the mashed avocado, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the guacamole

When the burgers are almost done, place a slice of cotija cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute until they are lightly browned

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of guacamole on the bottom half of each bun

Place a cheese-topped burger patty on top of the guacamole

Add a slice of tomato, a few grilled onion rings, and a slice of crispy bacon on top of the burger patty

Top with the other half of the hamburger bun, and serve hot
