  1. Preheat the grill. Combine the burger ingredients in a bowl, being careful not to over mix them. Form 4 patties and place them in the fridge on a wax paper lined baking sheet.
  2. Mix the ingredients for the pico de gallo and guacamole in two separate bowls, set aside.
  3. Remove the burgers from the fridge and grill over medium-high heat. 5 minutes on one side and 4 minutes on the second side. Assemble your burger with pico de gallo and guacamole. Enjoy! (Optional: spray the buns with oil and toast on the grill for 1-2 minutes before assembling.)
