Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken breast or 99% fat free turkey
- 1/2 cup finely minced onion
- 1/4 cup finely minced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro or parsley
- 2 tsp lime zest (from about 2 medium limes)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (add more if you like spice)
- ground black pepper, to taste
- (optional toppings) avocado, tomato, cheese, lettuce, etc.
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Overnight is best.
- Form meat mixture into 4 patties. If the mixture seem wet, grease hands with cooking spray or coat hands with water before forming each patty. They will firm up when you cook them.
- Preheat skillet over medium heat and oil with cooking spray. Cook patties for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until they reach an internal temperature of 165F.
- Let burgers rest for 5 minutes. Build your burger with toppings from there!
