Guacamole Burger
- Yield: 4 servings
Guacamole, combined with a melting piece of low-fat Monterey Jack and some slowly cooked caramelized onion . . . well, it’s most satisfying. You can certainly serve this with a bun (try the high-fiber/low cal variety for something different), but serving it all on its own really lets the flavor of the beef shine through.
