Grilled Pineapple Burgers with Spicy Avocado Cream

Grilling makes every food taste better, don't you think? You may not believe that when it comes to this burger/pineapple/avocado combo, but I assure you, you will be pleasantly surprised. The other nice thing is, this could be one of the fastest dinners you ever make. 

Prep Time:
20 Minutes

Cook Time:
15 Minutes

Ready In:
35 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lbs grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 pineapple (cored and sliced)
  • 1 yellow onion (sliced thin)
  • 1 tablespoon(s) chipotle chili powder
  • 2 clove(s) garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
  • 2 avocados
  • juice of 1 lime
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon(s) hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon(s) chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon(s) olive oil
  • pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Light your grill! 
  2. Now you should first slice your pineapple. I have no idea how to cut a pineapple very well but I try, so you can look at my pictures if that actually helps.
  3. Use a big knife to cut off both ends of the pineapple, then stand the pineapple up and slice the sides off. Then cut the pineapple in hamburger slices . And finish the pineapple slices off by using a smaller knife to cut out the middle and press it out. Like a donut hole. 
  4. Then slice your onions.
  5. Place meat in a bowl, add seasonings and mix thoroughly. Like hard core. Get in there.
  6. Make 4 burger patties and flatten them out a bit.
  7. Place onions, burgers, and pineapple on the grill at the same time. Try not to place pineapple over direct flame because it can burn pretty easily, being sugar and all.
  8. Flip when grill marks become present, after about 5 minutes and cook about the same amount of time on the other side of until burgers are cooked to preference and pineapple is a bit charred and soft.
  9. While the ingredients are on the grill, make your avocado cream!
  10. Cut avocados in half, remove the seed, then scoop out the insides and place in your food processor.
  11. Turn food processor on and let the avocado begin to break down. After about a minute, while your food processor is still running, add the rest of the ingredients for the avocado cream and keep pureeing until smooth: about 1-2 minutes.
  12. Place a burger down, top it with pineapple, then a grilled onion, and then a dollop of avocado cream on top!
