Step 1

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a large bowl, add the beef mince, garlic, Mexican style spice mix and salt (see pantry). Season with pepper. Using your hands, mix everything together until very well combined. Shape the mixture into 4 small burgers per person, pressing down to flatten to 1.5cm thick. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Thinly slice the Cheddar - you'll need 1 slice per beef slider.

Step 2

Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the burgers and fry until browned all over and cooked through, 10-12 mins. Cook in batches if necessarry. Flip halfway through cooking. For the last 2 mins, place a cheese slice on top of each slider. Cover with a lid or foil to allow the cheese to melt. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Step 3

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Dice the tomatoes. In a medium bowl, mix the shallot, tomatoes and cider vinegar with a pinch of salt, then set aside. Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the flesh in one piece, then cut into chunks. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Trim the baby gem, then separate the leaves. Set aside 4 of the largest leaves per person, then thinly slice the rest. Spread the burger sauce in the whole baby gem leaves.

Step 5

Share half the shallot and tomato salad between your lettuce cups, then top each cup with a beef slider.

Step 6

Add the avocado chunks and shredded baby gem to the remaining shallot and tomato salad. Season with salt and pepper and toss in the dressing. Share the Mexican inspired burgers between your plates and serve the salad alongside.
