Instructions

Get Started
1

a) Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. b) Once hot, add the mince, breaking up with a spoon, and cook until golden browned, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat. d) Meanwhile, trim and coarsely grate the carrot (no need to peel). c) Once browned, drain any excess fat from the beef, then add the carrot to the pan along with the Central American Style Spice Mix and cook, stirring, for 2 mins.

Finish the Sauce
2

a) Add the chopped tomatoes and ketchup to the mince. b) Season with salt and pepper and simmer until thick and tomatoey, 5-6 mins. TIP: Add a splash of water if the beef mixture is looking a little dry.

Cheese Time
3

a) Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high and coarsely grate the cheese.

Finish the Prep
4

a) Halve the burger buns horizontally. b) Place the burger buns onto a baking tray, cut-side up. c) Once the beef is cooked, divide it between the burger buns. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. d) Sprinkle over the grated cheese. Place on the top shelf of your grill for 3-4 mins until the cheese is nicely melted.

Make the Guac
5

a) Meanwhile, halve the avocado and and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the flesh into a bowl. b) Halve the lime. Add a squeeze of lime juice with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and mash roughly with the back of a fork. c) Taste and add more lime if needed.

Serve
6

a) Divide the filled hot burger buns between plates and serve with the guacamole on top. Enjoy!

  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, perfect for a weeknight meal or for less experienced cooks.
  • Suggestions: Consider toasting the buns first to prevent sogginess; try serving with a side salad for a more complete meal.
  • Portions: Some felt it was more of a snack than a full meal; others found it surprisingly filling.
  • Bread choice: Several reviewers preferred ciabatta rolls over burger buns for better texture and flavour.
