Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. 80 percent-lean ground beef
.13 tsp. salt
2 c. Shredded lettuce
4 Kaiser rolls
1/2 medium ripe avocado
1/2 c. salsa
1/4 c. Sliced scallions

Instructions

Gently shape meat into 4 patties, slightly less than 1 inch thick. Don't overwork meat or texture will be tough.
Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with half the salt. Place over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add patties, close together but not touching. Sprinkle with remaining salt. Cook 8 to 10 minutes per side for well done.
Place patties 4 to 6 inches above hot coals. Cover and grill 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or grill uncovered 7 to 8 minutes per side for well done.
Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source 9 to 11 minutes per side for well done.
Arrange 1/2 cup shredded lettuce on rolls. Top each with a hamburger, then top each hamburger with 2 slices of ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons salsa, and 1 tablespoon sliced scallions.
There's no sense in trying to build a better burger if you don't start with the right foundation. Remember that hamburgers continue to cook after they've been taken from the skillet, so serve them as soon as possible.
