Method

1. Mix the mince with the egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties about 1.5 cm thick and press a small dip into the centre with your thumb so they don't puff up as they cook.
2. Wash and dry the lettuce, and slice the tomato, onion and avocado.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the patties for 4 minutes a side. For the last minute, lay a slice of cheese on each and cover so the cheese melts.
4. Butter the buns and toast them in a dry frying pan for 1–2 minutes, until golden.
5. Spread the buns with mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard. Build the burgers with the patty and cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado and jalapeños.
