Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 lb cooked bacon, divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder ​​
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 small head purple cabbage, shredded

  3. If you are grilling: Heat a gas grill to high. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above. If you are using a grill pan: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove.
  4. While the burgers are cooking, make the jalapeño aioli by adding all ingredients to a blender, food processor or a jar if using a immersion blender. Blend until smooth.
  5. Build your burger! Place your burger patty on a large iceberg lettuce leaf, top it with shredded cabbage, guacamole, more bacon, drizzle it with aioli. Carefully wrap the lettuce around it, using a few more leaves as necessary.
  6. Enjoy.
