2 Tbspfresh lime juice

¼ cupfresh cilantro

¼ cupspinach

⅔ tspgarlic powder

½ tspred chili flakes

½ tspsalt

½ tspground pepper

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Form 4 equal-sized patties.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet to medium (optional: spray with avocado oil or a drizzle of olive oil). Add burgers to the skillet and cook 6 – 7 minutes on the first side. Flip. Cook 6 – 7 minutes on the second side. Or until the internal temperature reached 165 F.

Step 3

If using outside grill, heat and cook burgers 5 minutes on the first side and 5 minutes on the second side.

Step 4

Construct your burgers with toppings and bun of choice. I love using Outer Aisle Gourmet cauliflower thins toasted until warm and crispy! I paired my burger with a side of sweet potato fries.
