Guacamole Burger

You can’t beat a homemade guacamole burger! These delicious burgers are grilled to juicy perfection and then loaded with guacamole and pepper jack cheese. They’re easy to make with just a handful of ingredients, and they’re ready in 20 minutes!
Fire up the grill because these homemade guacamole burgers are a must-make. A juicy all-beef patty is tucked into a soft brioche bun, then topped with fresh guacamole, melty pepper jack cheese, and any toppings you love. They’re big on flavor but easy enough for a casual weeknight dinner or a laid-back backyard barbecue.
I use my easy guacamole recipe here—just ripe avocados mashed with lime, garlic, and salt—but your favorite version (or even store-bought) works just fine. Spoon it generously onto the burgers, then serve any extra with a bowl of crispy tortilla chips for dipping. It’s a simple, crowd-pleasing meal that always disappears fast.
Add a twist to your burger by using corn guacamole or grilled guacamole!
Ideas for serving guacamole burgers
This guacamole burger recipe just screams summer! When temperatures rise and the last thing you want to do is turn on your oven, fire up your grill and make some of these guacamole burgers.
Enjoy them on their own or serve them with a seasonal salad like my summer tomato and grilled corn salad, or a vegetable side like these skinny sweet potato harissa fries, or smoky parmesan corn on the cob.
Try them with other toppings like caramelized onions, grilled pineapple, or add bacon to turn it into a guacamole bacon burger.
