Worcestershire sauce, divided 1/3 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and mashed 3/4 lb. 80% lean ground beef 1/2 cup cooked lentils 2 Tbsp. minced roasted red peppers 1/2 tsp. sea salt 4 large butter or green lettuce leaves 4 oz. slices pepper jack cheese, optional California Avocado Pineapple Relish (make-ahead recipe below) California Avocado Pineapple Relish 1/3 cup diced pineapple, fresh or canned 3 Tbsp. finely chopped onion 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 2 tsp. chopped fresh mint 1/8 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 2/3 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, diced

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms in the melted butter until they are soft and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in half the Worcestershire sauce and cook for one more minute. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Stir together the mashed avocado and remaining Worcestershire sauce, then combine with the beef, lentils, roasted red peppers, salt.
