Tomato Avocado Burgers
Ingredients 
Serves 4

• 4 large tomatoes
• 1 lb / 453 gr grass fed organic ground beef
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ + ¼ teaspoons fine grain sea salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 ripe avocado, divided
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon mayo (DIY paleo mayo following this recipe)
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• A handful alfalfa sprouts

Directions

1. Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally. With the handle-end of a spoon or a fork, scoop out the seeds and seeds membrane. Set aside.
2. Place half of the avocado in a bowl and mash with a fork until almost smooth. Add yogurt, mayo, lime juice and cumin and stir to combine. Dice remaining half of the avocado and add it alongside ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir gently to combine. Set aside.
3. In a bowl season ground beef with ½ teaspoon of salt, black pepper and chili powder and mix well.
4. Divide into equal 4 portions and gently shape each portion into ½-inch thick patty.
5. Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Grill patties 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
6. In the meantime, lightly grease with olive oil a medium non-stick pan/skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Cook halved tomatoes face down for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to brown.
7. Flip and cook for 20 seconds on the other side so that they get a bit of color.
8. To assemble burgers, place a large pinch of sprouts on the bottom part of each tomato, top with a beef patty, about 2 tablespoons of avocado sauce and finish with the other half of each tomato.
