Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 lb cooked bacon, divided
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1small head purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups guacamole
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, leaves carefully separated to make wraps
Jalapeño Aioli
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro, minced
Instructions
- Set aside 6 slices of cooked bacon to put on your burgers. Roughly chop the rest of the bacon and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Form 6 patties (roughly 5.5 oz each)
- If you are grilling: Heat a gas grill to high. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above. If you are using a grill pan: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove.
- While the burgers are cooking, make the jalapeño aioli by adding all ingredients to a blender, food processor, or jar if using an immersion blender. Blend until smooth.
- Build your burger! Place your burger patty on a large iceberg lettuce leaf, top it with shredded cabbage, guacamole, and more bacon, drizzle it with aioli. Carefully wrap the lettuce around it, using a few more leaves as necessary.
- Enjoy.
