How to Make McDonald’s Pico Guacamole Burger

First we’ll get started with the pico de gallo. Cut up your tomatoes and onion into even pieces. Set aside about 1/4 of the tomato for later and put the rest in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and about 3/4 of a teaspoon of dried cilantro. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

#SpoonTip: Dried cilantro is a tad stronger than fresh cilantro, so it’s best to go easy here if you’re not a fan of cilantro.

Next we’ll get into the guacamole. Cut both avocados in half and remove the pit with a spoon. Spoon each avocado half into a bowl and mash them up real good, resulting in a weird green mess like this.

Take the tomato we set aside earlier and add it to the green avocado mush, and add 1 teaspoon of lime juice. Mix well.

#SpoonTip: add some extra flavor to your guacamole with a pinch or two of cilantro.

Now we’re at the fun part: the burger. Combine the ground beef, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper together in a large bowl and mix it all up. Form into 4 patties.

Coat the bottom of a large frying pan with olive oil and place your patties in it. Cook on medium heat for around 5 minutes per side for a medium patty with a light pink center.

Remove your patties from the pan and set to the side. Take a sesame bun and coat the bottom with about a teaspoon of buttermilk ranch, depending on your tastes you can add more or less here. Place the burger on top of the ranch,and add a slice of white cheddar cheese on top of the burger. Next is a piece of iceberg lettuce, and then to the tricky parts.

Take a spoonful of pico de gallo and gently place on top of the lettuce. Then get a spoonful of guacamole and spread on top of the pico. Lastly, place the top bun and you’re ready to eat!
