Cinco de mayo burgers


I try and eat completely paleo. Basically this means no grains, sugar, dairy, legumes, or proccessed foods. I did this for a full month before my birthday and felt amazing. After a few days of eating crap, I really felt it at my workout today, so I'll go back to eating that way. It's not a diet, its a lifestyle. Its really easy to follow and you get to eat incredible food. I actually am a decent cook, and like coming up with new stuff. So tonight to celebrate cinco de mayo I made some special burgers. This is how I made it, but anything can be changed according to taste or whatever you have around.

Ingredients:
1-2 lb grassfed ground beef
1 head of iceburg lettuce
3 multicolor peppers chopped
1 onion chopped
olive oil or coconut oil
spices to taste
guacamole
Sweet potatoes


First I chopped up the peppers and onions. I love the multi colors because they have different tastes and are yummy.

Then I sauted them with olive oil for about 10 minutes, until the onions are almost see through. Feel free to use a good amount of oil because this will be used for the burgers after. I took them out of the pan and put them to the side.

Next mix some spices into the ground beef (I used pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cilantro, paprika, and almond flour) and form into burger patties. Throw those on the pan and cook till done through.

Next I simply layed down some lettuce (I use this instead of bread or wraps) and put some of the pepper mix and some guac down. I threw the burgers on top and topped with the same combo of pepper mix, guac, and lettuce.

I quickly added some sweet potato fries by frying them in the same pan.

Overall super easy to make and super delicious. There was no chance I would leave any over! (following post will have the pictures)
