👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the patties

Season patties with salt and pepper.

Cook on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per side (adjust for thickness).

Use ripe but firm avocado to prevent mushiness.
-
Add extras like pickled jalapeños, red onion, or crispy bacon for more flavor.
-
For a lighter version, swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or skip the cheese.
