Blended burgers are a great way to add vegetables and legumes to a meal. This blended avocado burger combines ground beef, mushrooms, lentils, roasted red peppers and Fresh California Avocado into the burger patties, making them extra tasty and juicy. They are topped with tropical California Avocado Pineapple Relish and served in lettuce wraps.

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
