- Heat the remaining olive oil in the pan over medium high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the patties from the pan.
- Place each burger patty on a lettuce leaf. Top each with the mushrooms, avocado slices, carrots, green onions, and bean sprouts. Serve with sriracha (optional).

Beverage Pairings: Pair with sparkling water with fresh lemon juice and lemon slices.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
