Instructions
Prepare the Patty Mix
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, gluten-free soy sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix the beef, as this can make the patties tough.
Shape the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty that’s about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent the burger from puffing up during cooking.
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the Gluten-Free Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free brioche buns until they are golden brown. Toasting them ensures they can handle the juicy burger without getting soggy.
Assemble the Burger
To build your Gluten-Free Gourmet Delight, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun. Add a layer of lettuce, then place the cheesy beef patty on top. Follow with avocado slices, tomato, and the top bun. Your gluten-free masterpiece is now ready to enjoy!
