I’ve never commented on a recipe before, but since this one is new & has no comments yet, I felt compelled to share my thoughts. Living in south Florida, I always have avocados & limes on hand & always look for new ways to use them. I was so excited when this recipe popped up on my Pinterest feed.
It was sooo delicious. I had some issues with moisture & keeping it together on the grill, so I think next time I will use the coconut flour & grease my grill a little better. It was surprisingly easy to throw together too! I got 3 bun sized patties & 2 mini patties out of the recipe. We ate them with the avocado mayo on tostone (fried plantain) buns with sweet potato fries. I only cooked 2, because I wasn’t sure how they’d turn out & I froze the rest because avocados oxidate very quickly. This recipe will be added to my regular rotation!

- Mix the ground chicken with the seasonings, spinach, coconut flour, lime juice, and avocado oil until well combined.
- Very gently fold in the avocado slices, being careful to not smash them.
- Form the chicken into 4-5 burgers, spacing out the avocado to make sure it’s evenly dispersed.
- Grill the burgers on the grill surface (using extra avocado oil if frying in a pan) for about 5 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 F.
- Top with optional avocado mayo and serve in lettuce cups like a bun, or enjoy the burgers on their own.
