Directions
- To make the pico de gallo, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss together until well combined. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- To make the guacamole, pulse all of the guacamole ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the burgers, fork ground beef in a large bowl until crumbled. Add olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Massage until well combined.
- Add onion, beans, corn and cilantro and continue to massage until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Scoop mixture by heaping ½ cup and shape into balls. Flatten into disks and set aside.
- Heat a grill to medium heat and spray with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Place burgers on grill and cook until juices run clear, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Arrange cooked burgers on gluten-free buns and top with cheese, guacamole and pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
