PALEO Mexican-inspired burgers

One of my favorite bloggers is Juli Bauer from PaleOMG!  I first starting getting interested in eating Paleo because of Ms Juli's amazingly delicious-sounding recipes. And I have a girl crush on her, but shh don't tell her.  She's hilarious, self-deprecating, and incredibly fit, and I'm hella jealous.  But in a good way, because she creates phenomenal recipes that I want to eat, thus helping me lead a healthier lifestyle.

So this recipe - Mexican-inspired burgers - is courtesy of Juli from PaleOMG - and is f***ing fenomenal (yes I know it's spelled wrong, but I'm going for the alliteration angle here, y'all ;) )

My pictures didn't turn out as nicely, but whatevs.  I'm making these again, probably once a week because of how easy they were to make, and how yummy they were.  The avocado/pepper sauce is my new favorite food discovery... and I put it on everything now - my salsa verde turkey burgers, chicken, veggies, fish, etc...

Without further ado, here's how I made these amazing Mexican-inspired burgers!!! :)

Slice a red onion...

 ...slice some mushrooms...

 ...Add both to a pan with some heated coconut oil, sauteeing until cooked, add 1/2 jar of roasted red peppers (sliced as well) and continue cooking... and top with a bunch of yummy seasonings...

 ...Then take 1 lb of ground beef, add diced green chilis...

 ...Mix using your hands until well mixed, form into patties, and toss on a grill pan...

 ...don't forget to stir the veggies!

 ...grill for a few minutes on each side until you get nice grill marks (as exhibited by the burgers on the left)...

 ...While burgers are cooking, add the remaining roasted red peppers plus two avocados and some more spices to a food processor and blend until smooth...

 ...and suddenly a yellowish sauce appears...

 ...and then you can finally plate your burger, veggies and sauce, and stop taking pictures and just enjoy the blissful spiciness with the creamy "cheesy" sauce.  Dizamn.  Thank you Juli.

Here's the recipe!!! I did not modify a single thing... there is no need, it's simply FABULOUS.  If you're anything like me, you'll probably eat the "cheese" sauce straight without anything to accompany it, and you know what?  That's ok. Just enjoy it.  Trust me.
