Ingredients
For the habanero salsa topping:
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 habanero, minced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ½ cup corn
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
For the burger patties:
- 1 slice dairy-free soft wheat or white bread, crumbled
- 2 tbsp oat milk (or preferred milk alternative)
- 1 lb ground beef (I recommend 85/15)
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp pepper
To assemble:
- 4 dairy-free burger buns
- 1 avocado, mashed
Instructions
-
Prepare the topping for the burgers. In a small bowl, combine the bacon, habanero, tomato, corn, lime juice, olive oil, and honey. Set aside for now.
-
Next, prepare the burger patties. Start by crumbling the bread and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce, and let it sit for a few minutes. Mash it with your hand to create a paste-like consistency.
-
Mix in the ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Form four burger patties.
-
Cook the burger patties in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
-
To assemble, place the burger patty on a bun. Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado on the patty and the top bun. Drain any excess liquid that has accumulated in the bowl of habanero salsa, then add the salsa on top of the burgers. Place the bun on top. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- If you want extra heat, add a minced habanero to the burger patties themselves too.
- This burger is messy to eat, but delicious!
