Guacamole Burgers

ngredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
- 1/2 lb. ground pork
- 2 ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper

1. In a large bowl, mix the beef, pork, and salt and pepper (to taste). Use a spoon, and don't mix the meat too much. If you overwork the meat, it won't be as delicious.

2. In a hot, large skillet, heat 1 T. of vegetable oil (canola, peanut, whatever, just not olive oil).

3. Divide the meat into four portions. Form each portion into a patty, making a round indent in the center to keep the burger from becoming a hockey puck.

4. Put your patties in the skillet, cooking about 7 min. per side (flipping once) for well-done.

Don't smash the patties! Don't use a spatula to press on the patties while they're cooking. It makes a nice sound, but you're really squeezing the liquid out of the meat, which leads to dry burgers. And nobody wants a dry hamburger!

5. While the patties are cooking, remove the avocados from their shell, and put them in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, and salt to taste. You can also add cilantro if you're feeling fancy. Using a fork, mash the avocados and mix with the lime juice and salt.

6. When the burgers are almost done, toast your burger buns.

7. Assemble the burgers, putting the guacamole on one bun. Enjoy!
