2 avocados - halved, peeled, and pitted

1 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
½ cup diced tomatoes

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
To make the guacamole, mash the avocado in a medium bowl with the juice of half a lime, jalapeno, tomatoes, 1/4 cup onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic; season to taste with salt, and set aside.

Cook the burgers to desired doneness on the preheated grill. Add a slice of cheese to each burger during the last minute of cooking. Serve on toasted buns with a dollop of guacamole.
