A Mexican-inspired chicken burger filled with juicy chicken, chunky guacamole and a fresh salsa, – pico de gallo. Topped with melted cheddar and crisp lettuce leaves, – a fresh, thoroughly delicious burger that comes together in no time.
Serve it on its own, with crispy oven chips or a bowl of tortilla chips.
I like to use chicken mini fillets for this type of burger, but you can also buy chicken breasts and fry them whole, then cut them into slices.

Method
Salsa – pico de gallo
- Cut the tomatoes into small dice, and finely chop the other ingredients.
- Mix the vegetables together in a bowl, – do taste the chilli before adding it. You may have got hold of a hot one, – so add it to taste.
- Pour over the oil and the juice of one lime, and season to taste with salt. If you would like more acidity, add extra lime juice.
Guacamole
- Halve the avocados and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Mash it roughly with a fork, and put it in a bowl together with a couple of tablespoons of the fresh salsa (pico de gallo), then season to taste with salt, freshly ground pepper and lime juice.
Chicken burger
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, – season with salt and pepper.*Meanwhile, warm the burger buns.
- Cut the cheddar slices into 4 and lay a small piece of cheese on each piece of chicken so it melts, – allow for about 3 mini fillets per person.
- Spread the bottom halves of the buns with a generous layer of guacamole, and lay the chicken on top.
- Add a couple of crisp lettuce leaves, top with a couple of large spoonfuls of fresh salsa and finish with the top of the bun. You can spread this with mayonnaise if you like, – but that is a matter of taste.
