Mango Burgers with Avocado Cream

These large grilled cilantro-flavored burgers contain hot pepper sauce & flakes. They're "cooled" with mango slices and an avocado-cream cheese mixture.

Ingredients:

• Avocado Cream:
• 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Burger ingredients:
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste
• 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
• Salt and ground pepper to taste
• 2 mangos; peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
• 6 Kaiser or burger buns

Directions:

Wipe grill with a vegetable oil and heat to medium. In a small mixing bowl, combine avocado and cream cheese. Stir until well blended, add lime juice and salt, then stir until blended. Cover surface with plastic wrap and chill until needed. In a large mixing bowl, combine all burger ingredients and blend well. Shape into 6 large round patties. Grill burgers over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, turning once. When burgers are almost done, place buns flat side down on grill to toast until golden brown. Remove buns from grill; spread avocado cream on flat sides of buns. Place bun bottoms on 6 plates. Add mango slices, burgers, and bun tops; close sandwiches and serve.
