Instructions

Start by mixing the ground beef with the salt and pepper, cumin and oregano. Shape into 3 big patties.
Place patties on grill and grill for about 5 min per side. Once you turn the patties over, add the slice of cheese to each patty and let the cheese melt.
Grill the buns for about 1 min each.
To make the guacamole, mash the avocado, add the chopped tomato, juice of 1/2 lemon and salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
To assemble the burger, place the patty on the bottom half of the bun, add a big dollop of guacamole on top of the cheese and top with the top bun.

Notes

For an even zestier guacamole, consider adding a finely chopped jalapeño or a splash of hot sauce.
When grilling the patties, resist the urge to press down on them. This keeps the juices inside and ensures a moist burger.
If storing leftover guacamole, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing in a container to minimize browning.
Provolone cheese can be substituted, but opt for a cheese that melts well to get that gooey texture.
For a healthier version, use whole-grain buns or even lettuce wraps instead of regular burger buns.
