SMASHED AVOCADO-CHICKEN BURGERS
These zippy chicken burgers are loaded with ginger, garlic, cilantro and scallions for fresh flavor and some textural crunch. The secret ingredient is a little mashed avocado that's added to the ground chicken before cooking, which keeps the burgers tender and light. A citrusy soy mayonnaise is used both inside the patties and slathered on top. (Fish sauce could be used in place of the soy. Decrease the amount and adjust to taste.) Kewpie is a Japanese mayonnaise made with rice wine vinegar and egg yolks rather than distilled vinegar and whole eggs, but you can just as easily use your preferred mayonnaise. Fresh jalapeños offer a satisfying crunch when biting into the burger, though pickled ones could be used for extra acidity.

Steps:
- In a small serving bowl, combine the mayonnaise and soy sauce. Season with the juice of 1 lime wedge and salt as needed.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash and thoroughly combine the chopped cilantro, mashed avocado, scallions, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the soy-lime mayonnaise. Add the chicken and gently combine. Form into 4 large balls.
- Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat until very hot, 1½ to 2 minutes. Add the neutral oil or ghee, then add the chicken meatballs, spacing them out in the pan. Use a metal spatula to press them until they form ½-inch-thick patties. Cook without moving for 3½ to 4 minutes, until a deep golden crust has formed and they easily release from the pan. Flip the patties using the spatula and cook until done with a nice crust on the other side, about 3 minutes more. If the patties need more time, cover the pan and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid scorching.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over the patties and serve sandwiched between the buns topped with lettuce, a healthy slathering of the lime-mayonnaise, avocado slices, jalapeño slices if using, and cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and mayonnaise on the side.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The best avocados for mashing are ripe but still firm. This will give you a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright and tangy flavor to the mashed avocado. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it won't have the same flavor.
- Add salt and pepper to taste: Salt and pepper help to balance out the flavors of the avocado and lime juice. Season to taste until you reach the desired flavor.
- Use a fork or potato masher: You can mash the avocado with a fork or a potato masher. A fork will give you a chunkier texture, while a potato masher will give you a smoother texture.
- Serve immediately or store: Mashed avocado can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mashed avocado to prevent it from turning brown.
Conclusion:
Mashed avocado with lime is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used as a dip, spread, or topping. It is also a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. With its bright and tangy flavor, mashed avocado with lime is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
